Efia Odo chose not to delve into the specifics of her relationship with Shatta Wale, even though it was speculated that she was in a relationship with him [Shatta Wale], she expressed her regret for expecting more from the artist.
“He disappointed me, and I blame myself for expecting too much. I anticipated the same treatment I offered him, but unfortunately, the energy wasn’t reciprocated. I had to step away from the toxicity,” she explained.

It can be recalled that Efia Odo revealed that things have gone sour between the rapper and herself. “I was a fan but now I’m not a fan anymore. The problem is not his current music releases.

Harsh Living Conditions Endured By Many Ghanaians
