Popular and revered entertainment pundit and critic, Arnold Asamoah Baiden has taken to Facebook to throw shots at controversial reggae-dancehall artiste, Shatta Wale for going hard on business mogul, Kwame Despite and his protege, Fada Dickson of Despite Media Group.
According to Arnold, he sees no valid reason why Shatta Wale would throw insults at such personalities just because an employee of them went hard at him.
Arnold claims Shatta Wale has been doing this same thing to his fellow acts and yet no one comes out at him so he does not seem to understand why he should get mad at Kwasi Aboagye for dishing out to him his own type of meal.
He went on to call Shatta Wale a “malafaka” who can and does attack any and everyone as he wants but when he is given a little dosage of his own medicine then he’s angry.
This whole issue came up when Shatta Wale came out to announce that he was paid £80,000 to perform at the Ghana Music Awards-UK which raised many eyebrows.
However, Kwasi Aboagye, an entertainment show host on Peace FM came out to debunk the news saying no Ghanaian organizer can afford to pay such money for a performance which didn’t sit well with Shatta Wale.
According to Mr. Aboagye, the dancehall musician’s insults wouldn’t deter him from speaking the truth.
“I still stand by my statements. Go ahead and insult. That’s the only thing you can do,” he stated.
He expressed that his statement was based on thorough fact-checking backed by confirmation from reliable sources.
“When we are talking about issues, it is not about insults. As a journalist, I am a member of the fourth estate of the realm. We fact-checked. If it is not true, it is my duty as a journalist to fact-check. And people have called me to confirm that indeed, it is not true,” Kwasi Aboagye further added.
He said parading such claims could expose him to being taxed.
“If he won’t learn from it but rather insult, then that’s his business. Soon the UK government will come after you and you will learn. They have a threshold for income and £80,000 is above that threshold. As a foreign entertainer, once you earn above that money, there is a 20%, you’d have to pay. Next time, you will learn,” he noted.
Refusal To Cater For Child
Self-proclaimed dancehall king in Ghanaian showbiz, Shatta Wale aka ‘Gbee Naabu‘ is in hot water after his United Kingdom-based baby mama dragged him to court for being a good-for-nothing dad.
Allegedly, Shatta Wale impregnated a Ghanaian slay queen in the U.K. after he met her on one of his trips to the United Kingdom.
After meeting her, Shatta Wale used his superstar status to get her to his home, where they engaged in some presumably enjoyable, unprotected coitus and this allegedly occurred in February 2022.
Nine months later, the fruit of their meeting germinated, and Shatta Wale was allegedly blessed with yet another kid.
Since then, Shatta Wale has refused to accept responsibility for his actions, mainly due to his relationship with his new flame Maali.
It’s alleged that Maali comes from a rich and respectable home and although they might be willing to overlook some of Shatta Wale’s showbiz nonsense, they would not look too kindly on him impregnating girls everywhere he finds himself.
Shatta Wale has therefore attempted to deny the kid and silence the baby mama, and she has also responded by dragging him to court.
