“I told myself the first time I would perform in Jamaica, it should be with Vybz Kartel. It took me 20 years to make that happen,” he shared.
Reflecting on the long road to this moment, Shatta Wale explained that his desire to perform with Kartel started long before his arrest.
“Before he was arrested, I wanted to perform with him, and then he went to jail. I had to wait for him for thirteen years for this to become a reality,” he said.
Shatta also highlighted an important lesson he’s learned through this process: the power of staying true to oneself.
“When you are true to yourself, you will go places,” Shatta Wale asserted. He added, “People need to understand that I come from somewhere.
“I’m even learning Spanish now because the lady who saved me is Spanish.”
