“I’m married already, or is it because I’ve not said anything about it? The only appropriate thing I’ve done with Maali is meeting her parents with a couple of people,” Shatta Wale said.
He explained that the meeting was conducted in accordance with customary requirements, during which he presented drinks and other traditional items, leading to his acceptance by Maali’s family.
“Her father has really accepted me into the family. I went with drinks and all the things involved. It was beautiful,” he added.
According to Shatta Wale, although the traditional processes have been fulfilled, he intends to hold a lavish public wedding at a later date. He confirmed that preparations are underway, emphasising that he is saving towards the ceremony.
“I’m saving for my wedding. I have to save for my grand wedding,” he noted.
The interview, first reported by GhanaWeb on October 16, 2025, highlighted that Shatta Wale considers himself “married already” under traditional recognition, even though the official wedding event is still to come.
