The rapper also took the opportunity to clear up rumors that Shatta Wale bought him a Mercedes Benz. “I actually bought the Benz myself.
We went to NAM1’s show, and during an interview, Shatta announced that we had welcomed a new Benz into the family. He never said he bought it for me,” Pope Skinny explained, dismissing the widespread misconception.
Reflecting on their past friendship, Pope Skinny expressed his regret over their falling out, admitting that he misses Shatta Wale.
He defended the dancehall star, arguing that Shatta Wale is often misunderstood due to his outspoken nature. “Shatta is not the type to attack unless he’s provoked,” he noted, emphasizing that his former friend is frequently misjudged and painted in a negative light.
Despite their differences, Pope Skinny’s admiration for Shatta Wale’s influence on his life remains evident, underscoring the profound impact of their shared experiences.
