Ghanaian entrepreneur and media personality Michelle Diamond has sparked renewed social media conversations after proudly reflecting on her past relationship with dancehall star Shatta Wale while discussing her personal growth and return to music.
In a resurfaced interview on The Day Show hosted by Berla Mundi, Michy revealed that she nearly abandoned music entirely during a period of major transition in her life.
According to her, stepping away from the entertainment scene became necessary as she focused on rebuilding herself emotionally and financially before fully committing to a music career.
“I was going through a transformation and turning over a new chapter. I wanted to be stable and make sure I was truly ready because music is a huge investment financially and with time,” she explained.
Michy disclosed that music was never originally part of her long-term ambitions, but credited Shatta Wale for discovering her potential and encouraging her to explore her talent during their relationship.
She noted that after appearing on several songs and performing publicly, fan reactions convinced her there was still space for her in the industry despite personal setbacks.
“I was ready to let music go after some changes in my life, but after being featured on a couple of songs and performing them, I realized there was still a market for me,” she said.
However, it was her comments about Shatta Wale that quickly grabbed public attention online.
“It feels so good calling him my ex. I mean, I have the biggest artist in Ghana as my ex, so I’m proud,” she said jokingly during the interview.
The remarks have since generated mixed reactions on social media, with some fans praising her confidence and maturity, while others revisited memories of the couple’s highly publicised relationship.
Michy and Shatta Wale were once considered one of Ghana’s most prominent celebrity couples before their separation. The two share a son and have continued to co-parent following the end of their relationship.
While Shatta Wale remains one of Ghana’s biggest music exports, Michy has expanded her focus into entrepreneurship, television appearances, and personal development, occasionally returning to music and entertainment projects.
