Reggae artist Julius Amua-Sekyi, better known by his stage name Shasha Marley, hails from Ghana. He has been open about the challenges he faced following the release of his hit song “Mata.”
While Shasha’s “Seek he Good” is a hot and conscious song that aims to instill morality in listeners and the general public, Ghanaians considered Mata to be profane.
During the release of the song, the well-known crooner shared some of the horrible experiences he had with Adom TV in an exclusive interview.
He disclosed that certain Ghanaians would persistently tease him for not knowing the lyrics to the song. He claimed that even though he had given people the song’s lyrics, every time he went out, they would make fun of him.
During the interview, Shasha Marley revealed,
”As for that song, I have decided not to say anything about it because it brought a lot of problems to me. People made mockery of me when I went even after explaining the lyrics on countless occasions. My mum had high BP because people kept inquiring from her why I had done such a thing. Like I was really sad.”
Shasha reiterated that the song Maata was not about flatulence but rather about the names of his friends in Papua New Guinea, Maata Tuitui and Maata Pue Maata Fish.
