Shatta Wale finally speaks on why he knelt to beg IGP Dampare
Ghana’s dancehall king, Shatta Wale known in real life as Charles Nii Armah has finally explained why he knelt to beg the Inspector General of Police, Dr Dampare during his meeting with the creative arts industry. In an interview he granted Adom TV and sighted by YEN.com.gh on Instagram, the embattled musician gave an account of the reasons for his actions which disrupted the meeting with the IGP.
Shatta Wale, in his response, said he pleaded with the IGP to allow the artistes to live their lives and be true to themselves.
During his apology, the Freedom hitmaker passionately explained saying creatives and the youth should generally be allowed to freely express their artistic selves without being judged or stereotyped.
” Shatta is a musician but when I dress like this to a place someone will see me and say he is a rascal boy meanwhile I have properties. I am taking care of people, we are paying school fees, we doing orphanage home programs, and a whole lot but because of the way I Iook someone will think I’m not serious”, Shatta wale stated.
He also called on the older generation to give equal respect to the young ones and put away our primitive cultural perceptions to allow people to freely express themselves.
