Crediting the success to his mother, Nigel disclosed that it was because of of his mother’s relentless effort to see him rise to the top.

'Shatta Wale is a clean guy. Those times when he used to pray in the mornings and evenings some years ago when he was still Bandana from Ghana. His mother who was a God-fearing woman attended church programs with the photo of Shatta Wale in her hands asking for prayers for him. Shatta Wale is rich because of his mother,'
