Embattled Dancehall artiste Shatta Wale has opened up following Monday’s widespread reports that he was shot by unknown gunmen.
Viral reports on Monday evening suggested that Charles Nii Armah was shot by gunmen but managed to escape and was battling for his life at a health facility.
The police subsequently released a statement indicating that, its team went to Shatta’s house and a number of health facilities but could not find him.
In what appears to be a dramatic turn of events, Shatta Wale in a lengthy Facebook post, has rendered an unqualified apology to his fans and people who were affected by the hoax.
According to Wale, he took the phones of the team members and made the fake post.
He made reference to the prophecy that was made by a man of God recently that he would be shot dead on October 18, 2021.
Background:
The Controversial musician’s alleged gun shot comes after, self-acclaimed Bishop Stephen Akwasi, popularly known as ‘Jesus Ahuofe’ prophesied the murder of Shatta Wale on Monday, October 18, 2021, by armed robbers.
The Prophet claimed “a big calamity will befall Ghana, Ghanaians should pray for our musicians, especially dancehall music performers. I saw in my vision that one had lost his life”.
He mentioned the first name of Shatta Wale and warned that he should seek the face of God otherwise he can’t escape his untimely death.

THIS IS WHAT I HAVE TO SAY.
Psychological, or emotional trauma, is damage or injury to the psyche after living through an extremely frightening or distressing event and may result in challenges in functioning or coping normally after the event.
The statement made by this false prophet has gotten me in a mood of violence, since no one in this country cares.
So the police of this country want to tell me none of them saw those threatening statements online to take Action?
This pastor said 18th October Shatta wale will be shot, and you want to tell me you didn’t see from your cybercrime department nor did u hear or came across anything like that online?
I won’t wait for the Ghana police to call my father and tell my father, his son got shot this afternoon. I won’t wait for Ghana stupid media houses to spread the news to my fans about me being shot because all we wish in this country is for dead people and funerals.
If my life can be threatened and there is no law to take action on that, then I guess I will do what is right in the eyes of God.
This is not the first time I have had these threats in this country, am now I am going through this emotional trauma alone.
My dad has even defended me on the radio on this same issue .why? Why? Ghana? Why?
Yes, my life is in Danger, and am on the run till this country shows me there are LAWS.
Deportee, I’m sorry for taking your phone.
Dope sorry for taking your phone.
To my fans I am sorry, but I will have to fight this fight alone and get it done.
To my Dad, I say sorry for putting you through stress.
PASTORS ALWAYS SAY THINGS AND LATER PLAN EVIL TO IT, SO THAT I AND YOU WILL BELIEVE THEY ARE POWERFUL MEN OF GOD.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
THE YOUTHS OF THIS COUNTRY ARE TIRED OF RELIGIOUSNESS, WE KNOW GOD ALREADY AND THAT IS THAT.
IF THIS WILL MAKE ME STOP MUSIC LIKE HOW MANY WANT ME TO STOP.
THEN SO BE IT
CUZ I AM TIRED OF THE NEGATIVITY IN THIS COUNTRY.
SON OF GHANA
