Ghanaian dancehall artiste Charles Nii Armah Mensah Jr., popularly known as Shatta Wale, has expressed frustration with members of his team, accusing them of failing to provide the support needed to sustain the Shatta Movement brand.

The “On God” hitmaker made the comments during a TikTok Live session shared on X, following discussions surrounding his ShattaFest concert in the United Kingdom.

Shatta Wale claimed that he shoulders the responsibility of funding and maintaining the movement, while those around him have not done enough to contribute financially or create opportunities for the team.

“They are all fools. I am the only person managing the entire Shatta Movement, and no one gives me money. No one in my crew can say they bring in money. They are always there, and I am the one who goes out to look for money to support them and keep the team going. When I send them to the house of a billionaire, they can’t even bring me money. Even the fans create opportunities for me, yet the people closest to me can’t do anything to help me,” he said.

The dancehall star also criticised his public relations manager, Abraham Kofi Davis, popularly known as Sammy Flex, over the content of his podcast.

According to Shatta Wale, Sammy Flex places too much attention on fellow musician Livingstone Etse Satekla, known as Stonebwoy, instead of focusing on promoting his own brand and achievements.

“Recently, I was talking to Sammy Flex. I told him to stop talking about Stonebwoy on the podcast every single day. He still thinks we are in the radio era. He doesn’t understand the podcast he is doing,” he added.

Shatta Wale’s remarks have renewed discussions about the challenges faced by artistes in managing teams, building sustainable brands and maintaining loyalty within entertainment circles. His comments also add another chapter to the long-running conversations surrounding competition and relationships within Ghana’s dancehall space.
