Shatta Wale has unleashed his anger amidst humour on his fellow artistes for refusing to fight the ban from the Food and Drugs Authority on celebrities advertising for alcoholic brands.

This outburst comes on the back of a ceremony held at The Oriental Hotel, in Lekki which saw the unveiling of Nigerian celebrities Ini Edo, Jim Iyke, Uti Nwavhukwu, Teddy A, Charles Okocha, Victor AD and Melvin Oduah as ambassadors of Adonko Bitters – a product by a Ghanaian company.

The event held on Frebruary 13th 2020, was hosted by Ghanaian actress Selly Galley.

Shatta Wale in a series of tweets criticized his colleagues for refusing to fight the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) .

“Ghanaian musicians only think about awards and not business and more over they behave like children no wonder FDA sees us a great influence to minors! Poor industry poor mentality!” his tweet Wednesday read.

“Small time dem go ban alcohol for parties and then after they will Ban water too then we will drink urine and our sweat! Nonsense!”

“Small time dem go ban promoters from doing shows in Ghana cuz dem go talk say celebs deh spoil the youths in Ghana… there norrrr ago start do ashawo for quick cash,” he said.

In a turn of events though, Shatta Wale also took the opportunity to congratulate his colleagues in Nigeria and asked the company to sign him as well because he is a Nigerian.

“Congrats to all my Naija brothers and celebs on their Adonko deal… In fact Adonko please come and sign me because I’m also a Nigerian, my name is Shatta Ike chwuku Wale… Thank you.”
