Award-winning Ghanaian musician Sista Afia has opened up about how her collaboration with dancehall heavyweight Shatta Wale became a major turning point in her music career.
Speaking in an interview on Onua TV on December 15, 2025, the singer revealed that she was initially too shy to approach Shatta Wale because she was a huge fan of his music.
“I was Shatta Wale’s biggest fan, so I was scared to approach him. The first time I met him, I was so shy,” she said.
Sista Afia explained that she was shocked when Shatta Wale mentioned her name during their first encounter, as she believed he did not know her at the time.
“He mentioned my name and I was so surprised. I had released ‘Are You Ready’ then but it wasn’t a hit, so I thought he didn’t know me,” she added.
According to her, the collaboration not only boosted her confidence but also exposed her music to a wider audience, helping to reshape her career trajectory.
