Julius Amua-Sekyi, better known by his stage name Shasha Marley, has shared how his popular song Maata brought him fame but also significant hardship.
Speaking on Ghana Television, Shasha Marley revealed that the song was well-received upon release and provided him with numerous musical possibilities.
"I was in this studio when I released the song in 2007. I've explained this music here a million times, but people still don't get it. "I received all of the accolades and all of the problems because of this song," he claimed.
When asked if he was concerned about how the song was received and interpreted, he responded, "This is my music, and I want to hear it."
The reggae musician clarified once more that he did not intend for his song Maata to be taken as an allusion to flatulence but rather to the names of his Papuan New Guinean pals, Maata Tuitui, Maata Pue, and Maata Fish.
The seasoned reggae singer claimed in a similar interview that the song embarrassed him once in Cape Coast when some kids spotted him and all they could think about was farting.
On GTV's Breakfast show, Shasha Marley described the song's lyrics: "I arrived in Cape Coast, and some kids spotted me, and they chorused my name with fart."
Shasha stressed that the notorious "FUSH" heard in the song is actually a "FISH" while interpreting the song's lyrics. He claims it is the name of his Papua New Guinean acquaintance. Shasha talks about his shock and adds that even after all these years, he still doesn't know why people don't trust him.
I've given this song a million different explanations, but people still don't get it. It is "fish" in Maata, not "fush." These are the names of my Papua New Guinean buddies. Listen, I wrote this song, he said to the show's host, Kafui Dey.
