“My Landlady doubled my rent after seeing my collaboration with Shatta Wale” – Captan

Captan, a former member of the now-defunct SM Militant group, recently revealed the unexpected challenges of fame following his collaboration with Afrobeat musician Shatta Wale.

In an interview with Kingdom FM, Captan disclosed that his landlady raised his rent significantly after she spotted him on television alongside the popular artist. He recounted how his monthly rent increased from GHc700 to GHc1300, a change that left him feeling apprehensive about his newfound fame.

“After Shatta Wale and I recorded the popular song, ‘Taking Over’, I became scared. The fame was changing everything around me. I slept and woke and discovered my rent which was GHC700 had increased to GHc1300,” he said.

Captan also noted that along with the increased rent, he received numerous requests for financial assistance from people in his neighborhood, adding to the pressures that come with being in the public eye.
