Chief Biney kneels to apologise to Dr Osei Kwame Despite on behalf of Shatta Wale

Former Deputy National Organiser of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Chief Biney, has apologised to business mogul Dr Osei Kwame Despite on behalf of Dancehall artiste Shatta Wale.

During a live discussion on Peace FM, Chief Biney paused the conversation, went on his knees, and pleaded with the Despite Media founder to forgive Shatta for derogatory comments he made against him in the past.

He also advised fans of Shatta Wale to be cautious with their words when speaking about Dr Osei Kwame Despite, noting that the business mogul deserves respect.

“I want to humbly plead with Boss Osei Kwame Despite, wherever he may be, to kindly take what I am about to say into consideration. On behalf of my brother, Nii Armah (Shatta Wale), I ask for forgiveness for any derogatory comments he may have made against him. I plead that he forgives him from his heart, because at the end of the day, he is like a son to him,” Chief Biney said.

The apology comes against the backdrop of an incident in October 2023, when Shatta Wale launched an attack on Despite Media and its owners, including Dr Osei Kwame Despite, as well as broadcaster Akwasi Aboagye.

Shatta Wale’s outburst was triggered after Aboagye, a broadcaster who works under one of the Despite Media brands questioned Shatta Wale’s claim that he had been paid £80,000 for his performance at the Ghana Music Awards UK 2023, stating that the figure was exaggerated.

Shatta Wale responded furiously, insulting both Aboagye and the Despite Media management.

His comments led to him blacklisted from all platforms under the Despite Media Group.
