Speaking on GhanaWeb’s Sports Check programme, Kurt Okraku said his admiration for Shatta Wale is largely because they have a lot of things in common.
“ He is a friend and I like him a lot. His words inspire me a lot and I think we have something in common.”
Asked what he has in common with the musician, Kurt said, “ We have both come from ground zero and have reached a place where we can both impact society. Kill them with prayers.”
The GFA President added that Shatta Wale is perceived to be controversial but people should separate what the dancehall musician does as an artiste from his personality
“Shatta Wale is a Christian. He is a devout Christian and it is important that people see the artiste Shatta Wale and the human being Shatta Wale.
