Ghanaian singer Captan, who was once part of the Shatta Movement Militants (SM Militants), has revealed that Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Burna Boy once faced trouble in Ghana and was rescued by Shatta Wale.

According to Captan, Shatta Wale sent him and other members of the team to secure Burna Boy’s release from police custody.
He narrated how they stood by Burna Boy, bailed him out, and later arranged accommodation for him in a hotel while also settling issues that came up afterwards.
The Ghanaian singer also spoke about being on stage with other big Nigerian singers like Wizkid and Olamide.
“I’ve been on stage with people you idolise like Burna Boy, Wizkid and Olamide. I was in the studio when Burna Boy and Shatta Wale were recording. We took him to clubs, he was moving with us like our small boy. Police caught him smoking w33d, and we went to bail him out. Thanks to Shatta Wale, he sent us and we all stood there to bail him. We even put him in a hotel and solved matters for him.”
When asked about his current relationship with Burna Boy, Captan explained that there had been personal issues involving his former record label boss, Shatta Wale and Burna Boy, making it difficult for him to maintain ties.
“He had a problem with my father, so my loyalty is only to Shatta Wale. If Shatta Wale fights with Donald Trump or anybody, I will still support him.”
Captan, however, admitted that if Burna Boy offered him a free verse, he would likely accept it after consulting his 'father', Shatta Wale.
“If Burna Boy says he wants to give me a free verse, if I tell my father, he will say go ahead, who no like better thing?”

"International artist arrested in another country and a local star steps up with bail money. That is either genuine friendship or a very expensive publicity stunt. W33d arrests in Ghana are serious but not life threatening."
