Investigative journalist, Manasseh Azure Awuni has reacted to the recent events surrounding controversial dancehall artiste, Shatta Wale.
In a 25-line poem posted on Facebook yesterday, October 20, Manasseh reserved mention for two public figures whiles shying away from expressly mentioning Shatta Wale‘s name.
His first line mentions Shatta’s rival, Sarkodie, referring to him as King but it is Inspector-General of Police, George Akuffo Dampare, who gets a double mention in the 21st and 22nd lines.
The 21st line read: “But under Dampare, every foolishness has its limit”
“Dampare is large and in charge!” he wrote in the 22nd line to buttress his point about the need to do what is right even with the trappings and lure of lawlessness.
The Ghana Police Service on Wednesday stated at a press conference that Shatta Wale will be arraigned before a court today over allegations of causing false news to be published relative to a gun attack on him last Monday.
Police arrested him on Tuesday after he turned himself in, having been declared wanted earlier. He spent his second night in police custody.
The IGP was celebrated on social media following Shatta Wale‘s arrest with most social media users calling for the musician to be dealt with according to the law.
Many cited the recent treatment meted out to Reverend Isaac Owusu Bempah and that of the fake Takoradi pregnancy and kidnap case to buttress the need for the musician to not be treated any differently.
Read Manasseh’s full post below:
King Sark said No Pressure
That advice should have been a treasure
For life is not a race
Everyone has their pace
But some would resort to anything for fame
Even if it would end in shame
They use shortcuts to rise in the game
But it takes more than noise to keep one’s name
In their current state, they ought to be wistful
But in their fleeting glory of yore, they are wishful
In comparison with others’ success, they’re flattered
But the consistency of others keeps them flustered
So they’d do anything to rise
Even if it’s as inferior as “tugyimi” rice
Because trending is where their pride lies
But now they’re cold like ice
In their antics, however, they should not lose sight
That things are no longer loose, but tight
We aren’t saints, but we must strive to do right
It’s true that lawlessness is in our remit
It’s true that the powerful can even build without a permit
But under Dampare, every foolishness has its limit
Dampare is large and in charge!
And we’ve got to know What Time It Is!
Now, the beginning of wisdom is a declaration to thyself: “I Know My Level.”
Brief about the Shatta Wale hoax
On Monday evening, October 18, a viral post on social media had it that Shatta Wale had been shot at East Legon and was receiving emergency medical treatment at an unnamed hospital.
Police issued a statement saying no shooting incident had been recorded nor have the artiste been found at any hospital per their checks.
The following morning, Shatta Wale released a statement defending why he staged an attack citing police indifference after a prophecy was released in September about a gun attack on him.
The Ghana Police Service on Tuesday evening announced the arrest of Shatta Wale after he turned himself in.
According to a statement, the musician who had been declared wanted was subsequently arrested to assist with investigations into an October 18 viral post that he had been the victim of a gun attack.
The statement read in part: “The Police have arrested Charles Nii Armah Mensah popularly known as Shatta Wale. After we publicly declared him and one other person wanted, the suspect, Shatta Wale, turned himself in today Tuesday 19th October, 2021, at 8.59pm.
“He has been arrested to assist the Police in investigations for his alleged involvement in the creation and circulation of information intended to cause fear and panic.â€
Two photos accompanying the police information showed the musician in one frame bespectacled, in handcuffs and spotting a broad smile. The other photo shows a more sullen Shatta Wale.
The police also reiterated its warning to members of the public: “to desist from publishing false information, capable of disturbing the peace of the country or risk being arrested and prosecuted.â€

There is no doubt that Funny Face and Shatta Wale are good at their crafts. To constantly entertain their audiences over a decade is no mean achievement because some entertainers clutch at straws just to keep their careers afloat or drown due to the enormous pressure that comes with being an entertainer.
However, these two entertainers almost always court trouble and public disaffection for themselves. I am tempted to believe that, they take delight in having all eyeballs on them by embroiling themselves in one controversy or the other.
Just last week, Funny Face went on rampage in a video spewing invectives at some respectable persons in society in the persons of Bola Ray, Fadda Dickson and his own friend, Sheyi Adebayor without provocation. He further went ahead to threaten to kill his children’s mother and also commit suicide.
I thought the psychiatric evaluation he received somewhere this year would have done the trick, but it seems he is suffering a relapse or he is doing all what he is doing on purpose.
I am happy the police swiftly arrested him.
Per his utterances, he is a threat to his children’s mother and to himself. He should not be allowed anywhere near them and if possible, sent back to the psychiatric hospital once more for thorough scrutiny. Also, the law should not treat him with kid gloves.
This is not the time to abandon him. He needs all the attention and love in order to bounce back. He also needs to put his act together by exhibiting good behaviour that befits his status because most of his following are kids who take inspiration from him.
Furthermore, Funny Face needs to render an unqualified apology to his children and their mother for his behaviour. It was uncalled for and must be condemned in no uncertain terms.
As for Shatta Wale, the least said about him, the better. Publicity stunt is allowed in showbiz, but he exceeded his limits by creating fear and panic with his tactless and cheap stunt. Why would one fake that he has been shot and battling for his life, only to find out that he was hale and hearty?
Shatta Wale has been given too much room to misbehave and this time around, he decided to take it a notch higher by sending the police on a wild goose chase.
Once again, thumbs up to the police for arresting such a public nuisance. He should face the full rigors of the law to serve as a deterrent to others harbouring same intentions.
His infantile vituperations anytime he disagrees with someone should be curtailed and never countenanced. It is not healthy for consumption. There are kids in the society who cherish and wish to be like him, so the earlier he puts a stop to such bad attitude, the better.
We perfectly understand that as entertainers, they also have some difficult hurdles in their lives that they deal with, but that does not give them the boldness to misconduct themselves and put people’s lives at risk. They need to be a shinning example for others to emulate.
I hope Funny Face and Shatta Wale have gleaned some lessons from what has happened and going forward, they would not repeat it. It is my prayer that, they will come out better and not broken.

Dancehall musician Shatta Wale has allegedly led a gang to assault a supervisor at a road construction site at Adjiringanor in Accra for not extending the road to his office.
According to the engineer, Kennedy Acquah, Shatta Wale had on Saturday sent a delegation to workers on the site to ask them to extend the road to his office or have him to contend with.
“He sent someone to us on Saturday to tell us to extend the road to his office but we told them the length of the road and areas covered are contractual matters and not decided by the site workers. We asked them to pick the matter up with Urban roads who are supervising the project,†he told StarrFM.com.gh Monday.
He explained further “We were working today when he (Shatta Wale) just drove past the roadblock sign and came through where we were working despite the fact that we had just laid the asphalt, and asked who was in charge, I went close to tell him I was in charge and before I could explain anything, one of the guys with him just slapped me and he was looking on. There were a number of guys on motorbikes with him. The incident was captured on video by people passing, the police came there but did nothing about the assault on me, they rather exchanged pleasantries with him and told me to be carefulâ€.
He has visited the hospital and heading to the Police station to file a formal complaint.
Attempts by Starrfm.com.gh to reach the musician for his side of the story have been unsuccessful. Some members of his team called by StarrFM.com.gh did not respond to their calls after numerous attempts.

Ghanaian Dancehall King, Shatta Wale, has warded into the on-going debate about Stonebwoy’s ‘Putuu’ hit song.

Singer Wendy Shay has denied having an amorous relationship with dancehall artiste Shatta Wale.
Wendy Shay has since her music career been battling questions on whether or not she has sexual relation with her Manager, Bullet.
She recently raged against Accra FM’s Presenter, Nana Romeo for insisting he had evidence of her alleged sex relationship with Bullet and dared to make the evidence public if she challenges him.
The Presenter’s insistent behavior caused Wendy to walk out of the studios.
Wendy Shay has constantly refuted the sex allegations against her but it appears the allegations are far from over.
The singer faced similar interrogation with host Abeiku Santana on Okay FM’s Drive Time when she appeared in the studios to promote her new song ‘Emergency’.
She was questioned on her relationship with Shatta Wale because the two were recently spotted at an event which saw the latter plant a kiss on her cheek.
There are other occasions too where Shatta Wale has been speaking fondly of her.
In her response, she stated categorically that she and Shatta Wale only have a unique chemistry but their relationship has nothing to do with them exercising their waists on the bed.
“We share some chemistry. I haven’t found such chemistry with any male artiste yet…Shatta Wale knows he’s my godfather,” she emphasized.

The relationship and camaraderie that has gained much grounds between rapper Medikal and Shatta Wale is beginning to go a notch higher as the latter showers praise on the former.
Both musicians are seen to be getting along with a lot of vibes which is actually nice on social media especially when many perceive Shatta Wale to be cold towards people who get along with him.
After driving as a delivery guy to go deliver some cedi notes to the AMG signee, Shatta Wale has taken to Twitter to pinpoint how glamorous and promising the future looks for Medikal.
According to Shatta Wale, what Medikal is yet to unleash onto the music scene in Ghana will be too great for any artiste to stand him; simply unmatchable.
What @AmgMedikal is about to do to this industry I wonder if the hospitals will get space for these artiste .. #GreatStar #AMG shine on my g !!!!
Many critics of Shatta Wale have criticized his inability to keep friends and loved ones for long. They cite several examples to back their belief that the SM President has some tendencies that dispel people away from him.
How his relationship with Shatta Michy came crushing down, how Pope Skinny and Ara B left in pain and how the militants were booted out of their base give many the conviction that Medikal will suffer the same fate.
However, as we have it now, we can clearly see Medikal and Shatta Wale and describe them as the best of friends as far as the Ghana music industry is concerned.
Whatever could have brought them this close and compact should definitely be beyond simply collaborating on a song or one gracing the marriage ceremony of the other…it is absolutely something big.

Entertainment Pundit, Arnold Asamoah Baidoo says Captan, a member of the Shatta Movement (SM) militants, is a ”big sellout” and has cautioned Shatta Wale to watch his back.
Arnold Baidoo slammed the militant who appears to be the last soldier standing in the camp of Shatta Wale following a revealing report by the dancehall artiste regarding why he sacked the militants but retained Captan.
Shatta Wale recently took to his online platforms to announce that the militants are no more a part of the family because of their insubordinate attitude towards him.
He further revealed in an exclusive interview on Peace FM’s Saturday edition of ”Entertainment Review” that the militants were plotting evil against him, but for Captan who gave him a tipoff, they might have succeeded in whatever bad thing they wanted to do.
According to him, Addi Self, Joint 77 and Captan including Natty Lee had all met behind him and made a decision to badmouth him in order to spoil his reputation and music career.
Shatta Wale further detailed that although Captan was part of the militants’ plot, he (Captan) suddenly had a repentant heart and divulged their plot to him (Shatta Wale) who later set up a meeting with all the militants and sacked them but allowed Captan alone to remain with him.
In the eyes of Shatta Wale, Captan’s confession meant he is a loyal militant but Arnold Asamoah Baidoo thinks otherwise.
Arnold Baidoo, who was a panel member on the programme, stated that for Captan to have joined the militants’ secret meeting and not said it to their faces that he won’t be part of the revolt but to nicodemously snitch on his fellow militants means he won’t hesitate to stab Shatta Wale in the back.
He therefore admonished Shatta Wale to be very careful of Captan insisting ”he’s a big snitch. He’s a big sellout. He no force; he no try…Shatta should watch Captan very well. He is not a true soldier”.
