Entrepreneur Michelle Diamond, popularly known as Michy, has publicly challenged assertions made by her former partner, dancehall musician Shatta Wale, regarding his financial contributions to her life and the upbringing of their son, Majesty. The dispute follows recent claims by Shatta Wale that he provided Michy with a $65,000 house and a vehicle, a narrative she has categorically dismissed as false. Instead, Michy asserts that she remains the primary financial provider for their household, bearing approximately 95% of the expenses related to their daily lives and their son’s needs.
Michy’s response goes beyond a mere denial of property ownership, touching on the ongoing challenges of co-parenting. She expressed significant frustration with the timing of Shatta Wale’s public statements, suggesting that such claims frequently emerge whenever she is making personal or professional progress. According to Michy, the dancehall artiste’s involvement in their son’s life is minimal compared to the public image he portrays. She emphasized that she carries the lion's share of responsibility for Majesty, challenging the musician to match his public declarations with actual private support.
To substantiate her claims regarding his lack of financial commitment, Michy shared specific details concerning an unpaid GH¢15,000 shopping bill for their child. She revealed that although Shatta Wale had allegedly promised to reimburse her for essential items purchased for Majesty, he failed to follow through on the payment. This specific instance was used to highlight what she describes as a pattern of unfulfilled promises and misleading public narratives that do not reflect their reality.
The entrepreneur concluded her rebuttal by urging her former partner to cease referencing her and their family in public discussions. Expressing a desire for privacy and stability, Michy indicated that the constant public discourse regarding their past relationship is unnecessary and disruptive. The situation underscores the often-volatile nature of celebrity co-parenting in Ghana, where private domestic disputes frequently spill over into the digital space, affecting both personal reputations and family dynamics.
