When questioned about his marital status, Shatta Wale confidently responded, “I am married already. Or is it because I have not said it?”

He elaborated that he had formally met Maali’s family and received their blessings. “The most important thing I have done with Maali is meeting her parents with some elders. Her father has truly accepted me,” he shared. The musician added that he had presented traditional drinks and other symbolic items during the introduction ceremony.
