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.

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).
