Judge threatens Shatta Wale with bench warrant

The Adjabeng Magistrate Court in Accra, presided over by His Worship Mr Isaac Addo has issued a stern warning and threatened to issue a bench warrant for the arrest of Charles Nii Armah, popularly known as called Shatta Wale if he fails to appear in court at the next adjourned date.

Shatta Wale who together with Stonebwoy is standing trial for offensive misconduct during the last edition of the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards, was not present in court on Wednesday, when the prosecution was expected to call its first witness.

However, when the case was called, Stonebwoy was present together with his lawyer but Shatta Wale and his lawyer were both absent.

Prosecution led by Superintendent Emilia Asante, however, prayed the court for a bench warrant to be issued for the arrest of the musician.

It was the case of Superintendent Asante that the accused person was delaying the trial due to his continuous absence from court.

She explained that the prosecution’s first witness has a tight schedule but has managed to come to court only for the case to be adjourned.

The magistrate court subsequently initiated the bench warrant but his lawyer Jerry Avenorgbo appeared on time and pleaded for the court to temper justice with mercy.

The Magistrate said both the second accused (Shatta Wale) and his lawyer are playing with the court, a development the court is unhappy about.

“Second accused and his lawyer are playing with the court. For a very long time, he has not appeared in court.”

Counsel for Shatta Wale, Jerry Avenyorgbo prior to the court rescinding its earlier decision said his client was on his way.

He was obliged some time to get through with his client on the phone but, he returned to inform the court that he could not get through to him.

He then pleaded with the court to rescind his earlier decision and received backing from Stonebwoy’s lawyer who added his voice to the plea.

His Worship Mr Addo, however, rescinded his ruling and warned that he will not tolerate such actions from both parties and he will go ahead to take any decision against them if it is repeated.

Lawyer for Shatta Wale promised to ensure that his client is present on the next adjourned date.

The case has been adjourned to November 4.

Shatta Movement Empire boss, Shatta Wale has sacked five of his close ‘friends’ from his camp.

Shatta Wale in a post on Facebook asked his fans to be ware of Stone, Bone, Blade, Good Over Evil and pope skinny as they will never be part of his camp again.

The controversial artiste’s Facebook post seems to suggest he discarded them after making a scathing video about him.

But later accepted them back into his life and camp only for him to realize they came with a prejudiced mind.

He said they prevented loved ones from coming close to him.

In a lengthy Facebook post, the artiste, real name, Charles Nii Armah Mensah, shared a video with the caption;

“After this video I accepted you guys and now you came back with a mind to really fuck up my shatta movement.No wonder they never wanted people to come close to me ,I mean people who got love ..People forget soo soon… my people beware of people you forgive when people say do ..Listen to yourself and don’t trust and make nobody make your decision for you .. God forgives us so I tried to forgive but little did they know I also had a back up plan .. Beware of stone ,Bone , blade , good over evil and pope skinny .. They will never be part of my Journey anymore .. Anything they come out to say is Fabricated .. God guide me and my militants ??????”

This is not the first time Pope Skinny, in particular, has been suspended or sacked from the Shatta movement family.

The first time was when he retweeted the ‘advice’ diss song from Sarkodie to Shatta Wale. It got him banned from the movement for several weeks until they recently reunited.

And this coming up again on the back of that might be the last time we will ever see Shatta Wale with Skinny.

Shatta Wale in recent past has parted ways with close pals like Ara B, Deportee among others.

2019 Prophecies: Shatta Wale Makes His Prophecy About Churches

Awards-winning Dancehall artiste Charles Nii Armah Mensah, popularly known as Shatta Wale,

has made his own prophecy about churches and ‘fake’ pastors in the country.

Earlier in 2018, one prophet weirdly prophesied that he could die before the year ends.

In a video that went viral on social media, the so-called man of God revealed the prophesy

while preaching to his congregation.

In one of his prophesies, he mentioned Shatta Wale’s name, saying if the artiste doesn’t

take care he will join the list of celebrities who have died in recent times.

“God said I should tell Shatta Wale that if he is not very careful and cautious, he will be involved in an accident in December and die,” the prophet said.

But responding to this, Shatta Wale, who survived the year unscathed, said his prophecy to

all pastors who prophesy doom on the lives of others is that God doesn’t sleep.

The “My Level” hitmaker recently held a thanksgiving service, where he pulled a massive crowd to the Mantse Agbonaa park in Accra.

In a recent Facebook post however, the Shatta Movement Empire boss said he is surprised that

President Akufo-Addo has been silent about the spate of prophets prophesying doom.

“My prophecy about churches. God nuh sleep … Shatta Wale. They wanted me to do this to say I don’t respect and will force the police to arrest me .. It’s a shame the president of this country is watching all this from this fake person calling themselves men of God .. Ghana is a stupid village ..Yez I said it,” Shatta Wale wrote.

It would be recalled that Shatta Wale threatened to burn down the churches of those ‘fake’

pastors who predicted his death should he survive till the end of the year.

However, his latest post suggests he will probably not be carrying out his threat.

People Will Leave Ghana In 2019 Because Of God’s Blessings On Shatta Movement – Shatta Wale

In his new year message to his fans on social media, Shatta Wale wrote;

“2019 is a year for the odds !!! 9 is an odd number and they say we behave like that so watch my blessings this year coming, you might even leave the country because of shatta movement .. Happy new year to real people and positive thinkers”.

The ‘My Level’ hitmaker also mentioned that his colleague musicians need to learn more in order to make life better for them rather than focus on make-believes.

“And also to my fellow colleagues who still haven’t understood music and showbiz as a career cuz I pity how they wanna create an impression of YES LIFE IS GOOD whilst life isn’t ..Dem deh waste the days and it’s still the time.”

I Love To “Beef” With Samini- Shatta Wale

Dancehall artiste, Shatta Wale has revealed that he loves to ‘beef’ with colleague artiste Samini.

Shatta, who has over the years been a pain in the life of Samini seems to have seen the light and has thrown his weight behind Samini after he released his album “Untamed”.

It seems the ‘Gringo’ man is finally now understands what it means to ‘Support Your Own’

Shatta Wale has made it a point to tweet on the album on a daily basis to get Ghanaians to be aware of the fact that Samini has released his album online.

In his latest post, he said “Enjoying myself with some reggae vibes … We will help ourselves if no one does … I love to beef samini but if I have to say Kudos ,I will … high grade x SM”.

Shatta Wale Comments On Stonebwoy’s #FillTheDome Concert

28th December should probably be termed judgement day for Ghana’s dancehall artistes, Shatta Wale and Stonebowy.

The two rivals are bringing down their major concerts on the same day and Ghanaian’s can’t think far.

Whiles Stonebowy’s ‘Bhim Concert’ is scheduled for the same day, so is Shatta’s ‘Thanksgiving Concert’ after a successful ‘Reign Album’ launch.

Since Stonebowy was the first to release the said date for his show first, many believe Shatta is at his best to belittle the Bhim Nation boss.

Though Stonebowy is still 100% certain that he can fill the Fantasy Dome with his concert, Shatta believes otherwise.

Meanwhile, the SM boss in a latest tweet has commented on the upcoming Bhim concert

and it’s nothing as usual but mockery.

Shatta Wale in a latest tweet has shared a flyer for Stonebwoy’s #FillTheDome.

The multiple hit factory commenting on the Bhim Concert by the ‘Top Skanka’ crooner

shared an artwork with DKB and wrote;

“The management of Shatta Movement Empire has given out Ghana’s no. 1 MC on ONE SEASON LOAN to @stonebwoyb #BhimNation to host their concert.

Yo @dkbghana when you finish come straight to the training camp!

Else you go hear your borborliborbor ”

Well, we sure do hope the scores will finally be settled after 28th December.

Don’t Blame The Politician – Shatta Wale

Dancehall act, Shatta Wale has finally broken silence and blasted Ghanaians criticizing the

video for his hit song, ‘My Level’

The self-acclaimed Dancehall King believes there are more pressing issues which need

discussing by the media than focusing on his single balloon project.

Shatta’s outburst however follows feedback circulating in the media that his video was poorly

directed and did not turn out to be what they expected, especially coming from a mega star

like him.

Taking to Twitter, the ‘Gringo’ man registered his displeasure while he subtly jabbed the media.

According to him, his output and balloon concept should be the least discussed topic as

more pressing issues out there are crying for attention.

He suggested that the media isn’t doing enough to whip politicians inline but waste previous

time discussing irrelevant issues on their platforms.

He warned Ghanaians not to turn around and blame politician as they are presently operating

as though they’re from the village.

He thus reiterated that the country is still a village.
