Ghanaian entertainment pundit MC Portfolio has cautioned that Shatta Wale’s social media outbursts, amid his ongoing legal troubles with the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO), might do him more harm than good.
Speaking during a GhanaWeb X Space discussion on August 9, 2025, MC Portfolio explained that the dancehall artiste might have unknowingly purchased a luxury vehicle linked to a criminal activity.

He acknowledged that Shatta Wale might have been trying to clear his name by publicly denying any knowledge of the car’s alleged criminal ties.
“Unfortunately, Shatta found himself in this situation, which is why I didn’t blame him that much when he was still throwing tantrums amid the mourning.
“It could have been any other person, but when an artiste is in this situation, it goes beyond the law; it’s about your brand, so you tend to forget whatever is trending around the country,” he said.
However, he noted that Shatta Wale’s emotional social media rants could negatively impact his legal standing.
According to him, such matters should have been handled carefully, with guidance from legal and PR teams rather than impulsive online reactions.
“The only place we can fault Shatta Wale is that he might have unknowingly opened more doors for investigation when he went ranting.
“I was expecting his management to have pointed it out to him, but because he (Shatta) wanted to protect his brand, he had to come out so that the news does not shape public narrative. They should have advised him that going on this tangent was going to implicate him more,” he said.

What happened?
In June 2025, Ghana’s Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) seized a 2019 Lamborghini Urus from Shatta Wale’s residence in Trassaco Valley, Accra.
The vehicle was linked to Nana Kwabena Amuah, a Ghanaian American serving an 86-month prison sentence in the U.S. for a $4.7 million fraud scheme.
EOCO acted on a request from the FBI and U.S. Department of Justice, as the car was allegedly purchased with proceeds from Amuah’s crimes and needed for victim restitution.
Shatta denied any involvement with Amuah, claiming he bought the car for $150,000 from Kwabena Adu-Boahene, a former National Signals Bureau (NSB) officer, and was unaware of its criminal ties 68.
He accused EOCO of an “armed raid” in his residence with 13 officers, which EOCO denied, stating the seizure was peaceful and Shatta voluntarily surrendered the car to protect his brand.
