Bullgod (L) and Shatta Wale (R)
Artiste manager Lawrence Nana Asiamah Hanson, popularly known as Bullgod, has spoken on how the murder allegations made against him by dancehall musician Shatta Wale affected his brand.
In an interview with Nana Romeo on Accra FM on February 19, 2025, Bullgod revealed that after taking legal action and suing Shatta Wale for defamation of character, the musician has failed to pay his lawyers as agreed.
Bullgod emphasised that Shatta Wale still owes him a public apology, despite having privately apologised for his actions.
“I sued him for GH¢1 million for defamation of character. For me, it wasn’t even about the money; it was about the fact that he should set things right. So we came to some sort of concerned judgment that he would pay my lawyers and render an apology, but he hasn’t done that. But the matter has gone back to court for the judge to direct him to do the right thing,” he said.
Recounting how the defamation of character affected his brand and mental health, Bullgod noted that he lost some business because of the issue, however, it has contributed to who he is today.
“It haunted me for some years. It followed me in my brain, but for now, I don’t think about it any longer. I saw it as a good sign from God. Sometimes we don’t understand the doings of God… I am sure I am where I am today because the situation is a contributing factor. It might put fear into some people when they are dealing with me; others might not see it too well. It’s a win-win for me,” he added.
Background
In November 2022, Shatta Wale accused Bullgod of being involved in the death of Fennec Okyere, the manager of Kwaw Kese.
Following the accusation, Bullgod’s legal team filed claims at the Accra High Court, stating that Shatta Wale’s comments were highly derogatory, particularly given that the case is still ongoing in court.
As a result, Bullgod sought a court declaration that Shatta Wale’s statements were defamatory and malicious.
In March 2023, reports surfaced that Bullgod and his legal team were open to an out-of-court settlement.
However, it has been recently disclosed that Shatta Wale was supposed to pay Bullgod a sum of money as part of the out-of-court settlement and also issue an apology.
But, according to Bullgod, neither of these actions has been carried out.
