Shatta Wale’s Lambo Scandal Takes New Turn as Singer Discloses Where He Bought Controversial Car

• Shatta Wale reportedly told EOCO he got his Lamborghini from the street without knowing the seller
• The artist, during interrogation, said that he could not produce receipts or transfer documents linking him to the car
• Already US and Ghanaian authorities confirmed the luxury ride is tied to a convicted fraudster

Ghanaian dancehall star, Shatta Wale, has made an explanation about his seized Lamborghini.

The singer is currently battling a GH¢10m bail condition set by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).

Though bail was granted, he remains in custody as sureties are yet to meet the requirements.

But beyond the bail drama, it is his response during questioning that has dominated headlines.

According to EOCO’s report, the singer said he got the Lamborghini Urus “from the street.” When pressed further, the star reportedly mentioned someone named “Zak” who might have reached out via WhatsApp.

Shockingly, he admitted he no longer has the contact and does not know who Zak is.

Shatta Wale’s Lambo linked to fraud

The only available Customs form showed the car was cleared under the name of Nana Kwabena Amuah, a Ghanaian serving time in the United States for a $4m fraud case.

EOCO, in collaboration with the FBI and the US Justice Department, revealed that the Lamborghini was seized as part of an international operation. The luxury ride, taken from Shatta Wale’s Trassaco Valley mansion in June, is now on the radar of American authorities.

The star, however, reportedly begged officials not to tow the car publicly, saying it would dent his image. He was later allowed to quietly hand it over himself.

Investigators say the car may eventually be shipped back to the United States to be included in restitution for Amuah’s fraud victims.
