Ghanaian musician Ren Mich is excited to have the Ghanaian dancehall artist Shatta Wale collaborate with him on one of his songs soon, after successfully gaining the Gringo hitmaker’s attention online.

According to Ren Mich, he gained Shatta Wale’s attention by consistently tagging him in every post in the last four years. Consequently, the musician has promised him a free verse for a song after noticing his work online.

Speaking in an interview on Daybreak Hitz about his music career, Ren Mich said he has always admired Shatta Wale and credits him for playing a significant role in his journey in the music industry.

“I used to tag him in every post I made. I was shocked when Shatta Wale eventually reposted one of my videos and promised me a free verse for a collaboration.”

He also revealed that Shatta Wale contributed to the music video for his soon-to-be-released song.

He noted that growing up, he listened to musicians like Sarkodie and Shatta Wale during the period he was known as Bandana.

The artist further shared that he has released four EPs so far, with his latest EP released on March 5.

Shatta Wale speaks on his Lamborghini controversy and its impact on his brandShatta Wale says the controversy surrounding his Lamborghini, which involves the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO), regarding investigations into a Lamborghini linked to former National Signals Bureau Director-General, Kwabena Adu-Boahene, has caused significant damage to his reputation and brand.

Shatta Wale was arrested at his residence in Accra on 20 August 2025 by Ghana’s Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) over his Lamborghini Urus, which authorities alleged was linked to a $4 million U.S. fraud case.

Speaking in an interview on Ekosii Sen on Wednesday, 11 March, the Gringo hits maker noted that the controversy has taken a heavy toll on his brand, causing him to lose several deals both locally and internationally.

“…because they have really tarnished my image in Ghana and even abroad,” he stated.

He continued that, for the damage caused to him, there is a need for the anti-crime agency to formally apologise to his brand, citing that the damage could have been avoided if the matter had been handled privately.

“I want to boldly say that the EOCO boss needs to apologise to my brand, not me, Shatta Wale, The best thing they could have said was, ‘Shatta, come and take your car,’ but to hear another story that the car is proceeds of crime, I was like, ‘where is this coming from?’ At a point, I felt like I was not safe in this country.”

He recounted how EOCO officials raided his house, claiming to verify that some vehicles belonging to Mr Adu-Boahene were in his possession, but he insisted the only car found at his house was his Lamborghini.

Shatta Wale maintained that he has no dealings with the former state official and questioned why the issue was not handled privately. He said the situation has created the impression that he knowingly purchased a stolen vehicle, which he described as unfair.

EOCO and Shatta Wale

The EOCO in June seized a 2019 Lamborghini Urus used by Shatta Wale after its Surveillance and Asset Recovery Unit (SARU) conducted a lawful search of a home at Trassaco Valley Phase 1 in Accra.

The search, said to be “professional and civil,” was conducted on a 2023 request from the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) and the United States Justice Department.

EOCO clarified that “it is a standard safety protocol practice for officers of the Surveillance and Asset Recovery Unit (SARU) to carry weapons whilst on operation for the safety of officers.”

According to the EOCO, the FBI and the Justice Department have tied the seized vehicle to the proceeds of the criminal enterprise of one Nana Kwabena Amuah, who is currently serving an 86 month sentence for several financial crimes in the United States of America (USA).

It is reported that Nii Armah pleaded with officers that he did not want the seizure to be made public because “the vehicle was a big part of his brand, and if his supporters saw the vehicle being driven away in the company of EOCO, it would destroy his brand.”

In light of this, Nii Armah was allowed to surrender the vehicle himself, which is currently in the possession of the Economic and Organized Crime Office.
