Widely recognised as Sammy Flex, the popular host of Class Showbiz, claims he has a strictly professional relationship with Shatta Wale and has no business interfering in his personal disputes because they are matters of private life.
Sammy Flex clarified in a conversation with Graphic Showbiz that, in contrast to popular belief, Shatta Wale interacts with his fans on social media instead of using them to settle scores.
“He occasionally uses Facebook Live to interact with his fans, but the majority of the things he says are unintentional. Regarding his altercations with other individuals, that is not my concern. He said, “I respect that he has a personal life to live.
Being the manager of one of Ghana’s most well-known artists, according to Sammy Flex, has opened up a lot of doors and allowed him to visit places beyond his previous reach. (Read Sista Afia’s story, “Broken heart landed me in a psychiatric hospital.”)
“Being associated with Shatta Wale, a well-known brand, has given me additional opportunities.” Being Shatta’s manager allows me to go to certain places,” he remarked.
Sammy Flex stated he did not think it was a good idea for managers and artists to share secrets when asked about it by Graphic Showbiz.
“He has his life to live and I have mine to live. I do not think it makes sense to add personal matters to the already heavy workload. We both understand that our relationship is solely professional.
“He respects my decisions and pays attention to what I have to say. For example, when we decided to call off his stadium show, we discussed it for several hours until we both agreed that it should not go through,” he revealed.

Quinta Brunson became the first Black woman to win the best actress in a comedy category since Isabel Sanford did so in 1981 for “The Jeffersons.” Quinta Brunson played the tenaciously upbeat second-grade teacher Janine Teagues on ABC’s “Abbott Elementary.”
She remarked, “I am incredibly happy to be able to live out my dream and act out comedy, and I love making ‘Abbott Elementary.’” “I know I say this all the time, but I just love comedy so much that I am thrilled to have this.”
For Brunson, who also created and wrote “Abbott Elementary,” which follows a group of committed teachers at a Philadelphia public school, it was her first acting Emmy.
Although she was also nominated for best actress at the time (Jean Smart took home the trophy for “Hacks”), she took home her first Emmy last year for best writing for a comedy series.
