Musician Captan has opened up about his experience within Shatta Wale’s camp, revealing that being part of the Shatta Movement (SM) is about much more than just a cultural vibe—it is a rigorous masterclass in hard work and business.
Speaking on the Mid-Morning Drive on Rainbow Radio 87.5FM with host Eddie Ray, Captain emphasised that Shatta Wale has no tolerance for laziness.
He noted that the SM camp offers members a unique opportunity to evolve, focusing not only on music but on lifestyle and the exchange of innovative ideas.
According to Captan, Shatta Wale is quick to call out anyone who fails to be proactive or lacks the drive to succeed.
”Shatta Movement is a serious group. You cannot associate with it if you are a lazy person. It is strictly business, and you must have what it takes to succeed. Shatta Movement helped me become who I am today and is still helping me become who I want to be. I am not there yet.”
Captain further explained that the mentorship within the camp extends to financial literacy and personal branding.
”You cannot be there and not be smart,” he added. “You have to learn how to make money and save money. You have to be business smart, not just street smart.”
When asked about his fondest memories with the movement, Captan noted there were too many to count, though he specifically recalled the excitement of Shatta Wale moving into the “Ship House” mansion as a standout moment.
Addressing rumours regarding his exit from the group, Captan clarified that he never truly left the Shatta Movement.
He attributed his period of absence to internal friction with the “militants” and a personal need for growth.
”I never left. I don’t think I can leave Shatta Movement. How can I leave? What would become of my tattoo? I am there for a purpose.”
“I just needed time to master my own craft. Shatta is my father, and I have to make him proud. I needed to go out there, feel the heat, and become a lion like my father.”
During his time away from the immediate camp, Captan has successfully built his own team and expanded his professional network, connecting with influential figures such as his international manager, Jerome Kpakpo.
