The musician was one of several global dancehall firebrands assembled for Vybz Kartel's first concert after his release from prison.

According to Shatta Wale, his historic stint in Jamaica and loyalty to Vybz Kartel have more to do with the dancehall luminary's teachings. In a video making rounds online, Shatta Wale said,

"Bro anywhere I see Vybz Kartel, I'll kneel down. I don't care what anybody thinks. I don't care what anybody says. I don't care how anybody sees me. That humbleness in me for Vybz Kartel is going to be forever. It's in my blood. It's in my DNA.

"I'm not following Vybz Kartel to chase clout. I know he has seen that. I'm not following him to be like a groupie. I follow him because of his teachings, words, and ways of doing things."

Shatta Wale talks about God

Shatta Wale's love for Vybz Kartel dates back decades ago. He was one of several staunch campaigners of the FreeGaza movement when the dancehall legend was imprisoned for murder.

Shatta Wale managed to feature his idol on Mansa Musa Money, crossing off one of his long-craved-for career objectives.

However, beyond the music, Shatta Wale maintains that Vybz Kartel's love for God aligns with his efforts to sensitise fans about God.

"The king came out of jail and all he's preaching about is "God is the greatest." You have to take that statement seriously. For me, in Ghana, I've been telling my fans that God is here. That has been my prayer for many years and fans know."
