Shatta Michy, the Baby Mama of controversial dancehall artiste, Shatta Wale has denounced the famous 'Shatta' prefix as she looks to rebrand her image.

Born Michelle Diamond Gbagonah, Michy said her new image has been inspired by her growth and maturity adding that she is hoping that Ghanaians take this new image serious.

Speaking in a recent interview with MzGee on Gee spot, she revealed that the young crazy girl who came to the entertainment industry as Shatta Michy is now a changed person and is embarking on women empowerment project and has refrained from what she used to do with Shatta Wale.

She further revealed that she’s a grown woman now and has realised her mummy duties and would love to stay away from being the Shatta Michy we all know.

In an earlier interview, Michy lamented on how Ghanaians do not take her new image seriously. She said, “I think don’t Ghanaians like serious things. They prefer controversies and scandals. I want them to support me and my new brand because I really want to get the message out there, so I need help and support.

“My women empowerment project dubbed SM Women Empowerment is real and I intend pushing it to break boundaries.

"It seeks not to only render financial help to young women but also to give them the needed encouragement to make decisions that will yield something profitable in future for them and not allow the challenges of life to swallow them.

”I am doing this because I see how women, especially the young ones struggle through life and are lost as to what to do although they really want to achieve something.

"The truth is that, from my experience when I was running my pub, I realised a lot of girls had no goals and that also played a role in me taking up the new Michy.

“Women’s voices need to be heard and that is why I am interested in this project, in the hopes of empowering women to believe in themselves and fight for what they want,” she stated.

The mother of one recounted how she lost a cabin crew job because of one of her performance at Ghana Meets Naija.
