An Accra Circuit court judge, Emmanuel Essandoh charged the 'Kakai' hitmaker with causing fear and panic as well as spreading falsehood in relation to an incident that occurred in October last year.

Ghanaians heard rumours of an attack on Shatta Wale by gunmen, who 'shot him to death'. These rumours were confirmed by Shatta's personal aide on social media, who added that the musician was battling for his life in an undisclosed health centre.

When police investigations into the matter revealed that it was all a hoax, Shatta defended his actions by claiming that he did what he did to draw the attention of the police to a prophecy that had been made regarding an attack on his life.

Shatta Wale says he would give money to the poor on street than pay tithe

Shatta Wale indicated that he does not agree with the payment of tithe to the church when there are many people hungry on the street.

He explained that there are many people struggling to go through the day but lack money to get basic things in life, whereas the pastors are living in luxury.

According to Shatta Wale, people rush onto the street to see him when they hear that he is around, and for that, he feels obliged to give money to them.
