Ghanaian YouTuber Wode Maya has recounted how his wife, Kenyan YouTuber Miss Trudy, believed in his dreams when he had little to offer, and how a Shatta Wale song later became part of their love story.
Speaking on Joy Prime’s Prime Time in an interview with host George Quaye, Wode Maya said he was honest with Miss Trudy about his circumstances when they first met.
“When I met her, I told her, like, listen, I don’t have anything right now, but believe me, we’re going to make it,” he said.
He said her belief in his dreams inspired him to compose songs for the two most important women in his life — his mother and Miss Trudy.
“When she believed in my dreams, this was a song that, like, yeah, now that you believe in my dreams, I’m going to take a bullet for you. So these are the two songs. So the first song was for my mom and the second one was for her,” he recounted.
Wode Maya further revealed that after winning Miss Trudy’s heart, he serenaded her with a song by dancehall artiste Shatta Wale.
He said he had become a fan of Shatta Wale’s music at the time and listened to his song Freedom every day, making it a special part of their relationship.
“After that, I just got into Shatta Wale so much. I started listening to Freedom like every day. I loved it,” he said with a smile.
Wode Maya, a popular travel vlogger known for showcasing Africa to a global audience, credited Miss Trudy’s belief in and support for him as an important part of his journey, adding to the significance of their love story.
