Blakk Rasta (M) questions Shatta Wale (L) and Sarkodie’s (R) links to alleged fraudsters
Reggae musician and media personality, Blakk Rasta, has said it is no coincidence that Shatta Wale and Sarkodie’s names mostly come up whenever talk of alleged fraudsters or criminals surfaces in Ghana.
In a video shared on his Blakk Empire Media YouTube channel, Blakk Rasta questioned why some of Ghana’s top artistes are associated with people who later become subjects of criminal investigations.
According to him, some alleged fraudsters use musicians as a means to clean or “launder” their money.
He explained that over the years, whenever certain high-profile individuals have been accused of fraud or corruption, Shatta Wale’s name, in particular, has surfaced in discussions.

“Any time a certain criminal is mentioned in Ghana, some names come up from the music world. Shatta Wale and Sarkodie. What’s wrong with us? Especially Shatta Wale,” he said.
Blakk Rasta listed a number of cases, including that of the former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau, Kwabena Adu-Boahene, businessman Kofi Boat, who was reportedly picked up by the FBI, and socialite Hajia4Reall, who was also arrested by the FBI in connection with a romance scam.
He said in each of these instances, conversations about the alleged offenders somehow included Shatta Wale’s name.
“Shatta Wale’s name is mentioned any time a certain fraudulent criminal is pinpointed, Kwabena Adu-Boahene, Shatta Wale is in there. Kofi Boat, Shatta Wale is in there. Hajia4Reall, Shatta Wale is in there. This guy called Dr Sledge, Shatta Wale is in there,” he stated.
Blakk Rasta suggested that some of the lavish displays of wealth by certain musicians might be connected to the money they allegedly receive from these individuals.
He argued that even the funds some artistes throw to fans during public events could have questionable sources.
“What kind of nose do you have that smells money from every corner? And these are the guys who go around also throwing money to so-called fans.
As for Sarkodie, I hear he is more stingy than the devil. ‘Money no be problem,’ huh! Yet, the money that they are smelling around could be coming from some of these Dr Sledge, Kwabena Adu-Boahene, yellow Lamborghini guy, and all these people,” he added.
