Dancehall King, Charles Nii Armah Mensah, popularly known as Shatta Wale has made claims that crime rate in Ghana is not as severe due to his efforts.

According to him, he had joined forces with Godfathers to change the lives of individuals who may have joined the records for crime rate in Ghana.

In a Facebook post sighted by The Independent Ghana, the musician said he does not support crim but has rather made contributions that has supported the police in cambating crime.

"You say you be street but when we talk about streets too you don’t get it .. If it wasn’t shatta wale like crime rate in Ghana go be gidigidi. We sacrificed with Godfathers that brought us up to put most of the youths out of crime..."

"We don’t support crime, we combat and eradicate crime like the Police sameway. Many of you keep missing the shots when shatta talks and it’s because you deh dark room for many years lol," he wrote.

Shatta Wale was in the news a month ago for hosting Nigerian TikTok influencer, Habeeb Hanzat, popularly known as Peller.

He visited Nima with the online streamer in the late hours of Friday, April 11.

The visit aimed to introduce Peller to Shatta Wale’s fans.

They were accompanied by a police escort in a convoy and was greeted by a massive crowd.

But Shatta faced criticisms online for treating Peller to a grand welcome due to their belief that the TikToker is undeserving of such recognition.

They have insisted that A-list Nigerian celebrities would not extend the same treatment to Ghanaian.

Shatta however, did not respond to any of such criticisms.
