The Public Relations Officer for Dancehall artiste Shatta Wale has responded to claims by media personality, Okatakyie Afrifa-Mensah, that his artiste was used and dumped by the ruling NDC government.
It may be recalled that Okatakyie Afrifa-Mensah, in a video shared on social media, claimed that Shatta Wale allowed himself to be used by the NDC for political power.
But in a recent development, Sammy Flex, Shatta Wale‘s PRO, shared a video on X on August 15, 2025, debunking the notion made by the media personality.
According to Sammy Flex, his artiste was not used as a puppet by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for political gain, adding that Shatta Wale even performed for the opposition NPP.
“Remember last year during a series of protests by the youth, which celebrities partook in? Was Shatta Wale involved? They were even NDC sponsored events but Shatta never involved himself.
“Throughout the campaign season, he never involved himself with any political party. The only two times you saw him on any campaign platforms, they were for Ursula Owusu and Kozie. They were even NPP campaign platforms. He had only gone there to perform. It was strictly business. Not politics,” he said.
Sammy Flex, while making his submission, added that Okatakyie Afrifa-Mensah should get his facts right when making a statement about his artiste.
Recounting an old video that sparked social media reactions where Shatta Wale was seen kneeling before President John Dramani Mahama, Sammy Flex noted that Shatta Wale only apologise to the president because of some wrongdoing in the past.
“So, those claims that he was used by the NDC to campaign and that he was abandoned by them are all false.
“The people making these claims should get their facts right,” he added.
