Dancehall musician Shatta Wale is under attack on social media for calling out the President of Ghana, Nana Akufo-Addo.
The “Dem Confuse” singer who arrived from his ‘Reign Europe Tour’ on Monday, November 3, went on social media to criticise the president for the ‘economic hardships’ his fans are enduring
According to him, the youth are complaining about being broke and unemployment coupled with economic hardships.

He wrote: “Remember when the youth rise there is no stopping cuz everybody is saying it loud now ..”Chale money no deh “ “the system hard “ my job spoil “ this government has failed us” Yes this is what the street is saying and anyone who will comment and say am lying is a damn liar himself …Mr president stand up !!!”
Immediately after making his statement, some Ghanaians took offence, jabbing him under the comment section of his post.
Some roped in MenzGold saga, accusing his record label’s bank roller of contributing to the hardships Ghanaians are facing. “Don’t forget MENZGOLD has contributed about 80% to this hardship bcoz imagine the amount of money locked there. All those customers can’t spend money in the system like they used to do. All the collapsed shareholders of all the collapsed banks have huge amount of money at MENZGOLD that led to the collapse of all these banks. Tell ur boss to pay and see the economy will boost,” Christian Crucial wrote (unedited).

You get mouth talk about the president buh u can’t find voice to talk about the people you benefited from, the MenzGold money.. Tell your lazy fans to stop complaining cos if clients no dey pay u for start working. How many of them are into legitimate business.”
“Sake of dey stopped you and your boss from scamming Ghanaians through Menzgold so now you have a problem with the government…,” Kwésï Kíllz II said (unedited).
Some attacked his music and branded his followers, especially the youth, as drug addicts.
“But your so called youth still get money for TRAMOL, CODIENE , AMENIZIA KUSH and get extra money to come listen to ur Milo kONKO MUSIC…………. You and your youth shud suck ur mothers!” A M Dollars Kumasi wrote (unedited).
“Aswear ebi only ur lazy poor fun dey cry about hardship…try and find something for them to Do…Mr . youth President..” Adams Hashim said (unedited).
Shatta Wale should shut-up.If your fans are complaining,aren’t yuh a damm rich,get them job,fi yuh can also help.
See this dog mouthed guy. You never listen to Advice from Sarkodie abi? Have you forgotten that the man you are abusing with your insolent words might eventually end your singing Career in the country and ban you from singing in the country? If he does that, you will be begging for food on the streets and your lazy fans too might eventually die of hunger. You and your fans have money for drugs and whatever but you don’t have money for self development. Chale feemo steady for der oo….
Some Ghanaians will continue to suffer because the hypocrisy is too much.. what is wrong with what shatta wale said..because you hated this guy soo much you can not even see it when ever he saying the hard truth….
It is true shatta is being realistic here the hardship of the economy is very alarming so Mr president must rise up before the youth of this nation start to organize another demonstration. Mr president please hear the cry of the youths of this noble nation. I think Wale is being fair here so those attacking him should stop that hypocrisy life.
LONG LIVE SHATTA
LONG LIVE GHANA
LONG LIVE shatta fans
We shouldn’t accuse people for saying their minds, its help us to know much about the problem and how to solve it. People voted the president to serve and protect the nation not for people to serve him, everyone has right to say his mind to the president but we shouldn’t insult him and we should stop insisting ourselves as ghanaians
