In an interview on the Rants, Bants, and Confession podcast released on 31 October 2024, the On God hitmaker shared that his father, a man of substantial means, even provided him with foreign currency for his daily expenses.
"I started saving at the age of 14 as a rich kid," Shatta Wale revealed. "I went to Prudential Bank at age 14 and told them I was 18 years old. My father used to give me pounds and dollars as daily upkeep, so at age 14, I had seven hundred and fifty thousand cedis."
He added that he hardly had to buy anything himself, as his father took care of all his needs. "I was okay; I didn’t have to buy anything because he was buying all my clothing. I drove one time to the bank when my dad wasn’t home. The bank manager knew I wasn’t 18, though," he recalled.
However, Shatta Wale explained that he was unable to access the funds when he later faced financial difficulties. "When I became broke, I had actually forgotten about that money saved with Prudential Bank," he explained. "It was only later, after my Bandana days, that I remembered. When I went to the bank, they said my name wasn’t in the system, so I couldn’t get it back," he added.
