Dancehall artiste Shatta Wale and reggae musician Blakk Rasta
Broadcaster and reggae musician Blakk Rasta has explained the comments he made about dancehall artiste Shatta Wale, which have reportedly led to legal action against him.
Speaking in a recent video posted by Blakk Empire Media, Blakk Rasta addressed issues surrounding a song Shatta Wale released against him, titled ‘Flaunt’, and used the opportunity to make strong allegations against the dancehall artiste.
According to Blakk Rasta, Shatta Wale accused him in the song of being jealous of his success and lifestyle, claiming that while others are asleep, he works tirelessly and enjoys flaunting his wealth.
“Shatta Wale made a song against me, which he calls `flaunt’ and in that song, he said I’m envious of him and his success. He said he’s living his life, flaunting his wealth because he works so hard. While some of us are fast asleep, he’s burning the midnight candle,” he said.
Blakk Rasta, however, dismissed those claims and countered them with serious accusations, alleging that Shatta Wale is deeply linked to fraud-related activities.
The outspoken broadcaster claimed that Shatta Wale is not accustomed to people confronting him directly, alleging that the artiste frequently engages in conflicts with others.
“He’s the king of sakawa and fraud. He’s not used to people standing up to him and telling him things to his face because he’s always fighting people,” he stated.
He further alleged that Shatta Wale has close associations with individuals involved in fraud, both in Ghana and abroad.

“Every thief and fraudster who is caught in this country ready for extradition to America or some other countries, Shatta Wale’s name is in there. He knows all the fraud boys in Ghana and outside the country,” he claimed.
Blakk Rasta also accused Shatta Wale of living a double life, alleging that while he publicly advises the youth to work hard, he privately associates with fraudsters and displays money allegedly obtained through illegal means.
“Unfortunately, he knows how to pretend too. He comes with money as all the fraudsters do, pack the money up and show off, meanwhile, he will go to the youth and tell them to work hard,” he said.
In a further claim, Blakk Rasta suggested that Shatta Wale’s social media activity has allegedly drawn the attention of international law enforcement agencies.
“Whenever the FBI comes around, he doesn’t know they just leave him so that other people can be caught.
“Because he likes taking pictures with his colleague fraudsters, the FBI will trace them through his posts,” he shared.
He mentioned that arresting Shatta Wale, in his view, would make it difficult for authorities to apprehend other fraud suspects.
“If they arrest him, it will be difficult to arrest other sakawa boys,” he added.
