Shatta Wale asks fans to shame politicians
Controversial Dancehall artiste, Charles Nii Armah
Mensah Jnr, also known by the stage name Shatta
Wale, says some politicians are a bunch of greedy
people.

Some the country's politicians, he said, only
think about their interests and not that of
Ghanaians.

The ‘Dancehall Commando’ made the comments at
a festival in Suhum in the Eastern Region.

Shatta Wale during a performance paused to advise
his fans to eschew violence before, during and
after this year’s elections.

Right after that, he launched an attack on
politicians.

“We need peace in our country. It does not
matter if you dey NPP, you dey NDC, you dey CPP,
you dey PPP, you dey FPP or you dey JPP, if that
is what you want. Chose somebody who you think can
rule you as a person,” he urged.

He advised them not to allow themselves to be
influenced by money from politicians in order to
vote for a particular party or individual. He also
urged them to ensure that they would not be lured
by anybody to engage in violent activities.

The multiple award winner went ‘bonkers’
shortly after the advice. He told fans to use the
‘F-word’ on any politician who attempts to
incite them to engage in any unruly behaviour in
their quest to win this year’s elections.

“If any politician comes to you and gives you
money to go and fight with another party, tell him
Shatta says ‘F**k’ your mother. Any grown up
person is supposed to give good advice. So, if
anybody decides to lure you into violence tell
them that ‘wo maame t**,” he shouted.
