THE STARKING

A ‘trotro’ driver, who has inked a tattoo of Shatta Wale at his back, had to park his commercial bus at Kokomlemle to catch a glimpse of Shatta Wale at Hitz FM on Friday.

The driver refused to mention his name and was even denied access when he tried to invade Hitz FM’s studio to meet his idol.

Sports presenter, George Addo Jnr, who witnessed the driver’s ordeal with his passengers prior to the start of Shatta Wale’s interview said he ordered the bus conductor (mate) to pay back the passengers their monies because of the one-time moment.

He was stopped by our security and he doesn’t want to go back. He has asked the passengers to come off the Trotro. And the passengers are taking their money to board another bus, George said on the Daybreak Hitz show.

After he was given access to meet Shatta Wale, the driver took off his shirt and revealed the tattoo to him and the panelists including the host Andy Dosty.

Shatta Wale, after encountering the fan got dumbfounded and further apologised to the passengers who boarded his vehicle before the incident.

It was such am emotional moment that both parties got teary and hugged till they parted ways in the studio.

When Shatta Wale asked of his name and contact, the driver said it wasn’t necessary because meeting him alone was a blessing.
