• Shawa says family responsibilities have left him heavily indebted.
• He says people sometimes misunderstand financial struggles and success.
• The comedian is venturing into music and believes he will succeed with God’s support.

Comedian Shawa has opened up about the financial pressure he faces, revealing that despite being the richest person in his family, he is also drowning in loans.

According to Shawa, much of the financial burden has come from supporting family members, something he says people may not always understand when they look at his life from the outside.

The comedian explained that his financial struggles have even affected his physical appearance, joking that the pressure from loans makes it difficult for him to gain weight.

“For example, I’m the richest person in my family but I’m drowning in loans. Loans are taking me and are on my neck. Why do you think I don’t gain weight? It’s loans,” Shawa said.

He also spoke about how some people can develop resentment when they feel someone close to them is moving ahead financially.

Shawa said there are people who may think a person has changed simply because they have bought something new or improved their lifestyle, yet they may not know the financial responsibilities and sacrifices behind it.

“People need to know that we can all win together. Someone can think that if you probably buy a car, you will no longer be on their level. That’s really wrong,” he said.

Beyond comedy, Shawa is also venturing into music as he looks to explore another side of his creativity.

The comedian said he believes his music journey can succeed despite the challenges he is currently facing, with his faith playing a major role in his ambitions.

With his characteristic confidence, Shawa says he is ready to work on his music and build a successful career beyond comedy.

“With God behind me, I’m going to sing and be successful,” he said.
