The renowned content creator recently took to his Instagram page to share a video of himself roaming a street in Grenada during the nighttime.
From a far distance, Wode Maya heard award-winning Ghanaian dancehall musician Shatta Wale's 2022 smash hit single, On God being played in a building by the street.
The content creator jumped in excitement as he immediately ran towards the direction where the song was being played. He was in disbelief and screamed at a Ghanaian song being played in a country that was geographically far from the African continent.
Wode Maya approached a Grenadian on the street, who recognised him for his content and appearance at an event. He later visited a local restaurant where he interacted with some locals, who had converged to have fun at a party.
In the caption of his social media post, an excited Wode Maya wrote:
"@shattawalenima On God On Repeat In Grenada. Hey Grenadians, the African Man Is Finally Home 😍."
Shatta Wale's On God song gained massive popularity in the international music scene in 2025 after the dancehall musician's history-making performance at Jamaican icon Vybz Kartel's Freedom Street concert.
The SM boss mounted the stage and entertained a large crowd of Jamaicans with a performance at the event that was held at the Jamaica National Stadium on December 31, 2024.
The song recently debuted in the 35th position on the Billboard US Afrobeat chart, with its official visual amassing over 14 million views on YouTube since its release.
