Shatta Wale warned his followers against being influenced to protest
Ghanaian Dancehall artiste, Shatta Wale, has urged Ghanaians to take personal responsibilities for their lives instead of blaming politicians for their struggles.
In a heated address to his fans during a TikTok Live session on September 20, 2025, the musician, known for his outspoken views, cautioned his followers against being influenced by others to protest or fight the government when they stand to gain nothing from it.
“Stop listening to people; it is not working. You are delaying your own time. Don’t let someone influence you to go and fight some government when you know that you’re not going to benefit from it. Those influencing you know their own mindset,” he stated.
Government is ‘clueless’ about content creation – Shatta Wale laments
Shatta Wale emphasised that citizens have the power to change their own circumstances through initiative and hard work, rather than blaming the government for their woes.
“You guys allow it. So, don’t blame politicians for your losses and your lazy life. Politicians do not own your life. Own your own life. There are a whole lot of ways you can create something for yourself,” he added.
The comments come at a time of resurging public debates about governance, economic conditions, and youth unemployment in Ghana.
