Ghanaian dancehall artiste Shatta Wale has taken legal action against social commentator Black Rasta, accusing him of making disparaging remarks that have tarnished his reputation. The musician’s lawsuit stems from a video uploaded by Black Rasta, which Shatta Wale claims contains false and malicious statements portraying him as dishonest and involved in fraudulent activities.
Shatta Wale is seeking redress for the alleged harm caused to his reputation, and his legal team is pushing for substantial damages to the tune of ₵100 million. Furthermore, the musician wants the court to order Black Rasta to remove the video from all social media platforms and issue a public apology.
The case highlights the importance of responsible communication, particularly in the digital age where information can spread rapidly. Shatta Wale’s reputation has allegedly been damaged by the video, which garnered significant attention on social media platforms, and he is seeking to clear his name and restore his public image.
