My landlady increased my rent after seeing me on TV with Shatta Wale – Captan

Fame is a double-edged sword, as former Shatta Movement Militant, Captan, learned after the release of his hit song, Taking Over, with Shatta Wale.

The song’s massive success opened doors and catapulted him into the limelight, but with that fame came challenges he hadn’t anticipated.

One of the most striking was how quickly his life transformed—and not always for the better.

In an interview on Kingdom FM, Captan shared how the sudden surge in fame brought fear and unexpected pressures. “After Shatta Wale and I recorded the popular song, Taking Over, I became scared,” he confessed.

“The fame was changing everything around me. I slept and woke and discovered my rent, which was GHC700, had increased to GHC1300.”

This shocking increase came from his landlady, who had noticed his rising popularity and likely assumed that his newfound celebrity status came with an equally substantial income.
