Dancehall star Shatta Wale has launched a scathing attack on politicians, accusing them of disrespecting Ghana’s creative industry.
In a fiery TikTok video, he expressed frustration over how creatives are treated, arguing that those in power see them as unintelligent.
“The nonsense must stop. Politicians will forever see creatives as dumb because the people in charge are also dumb,”** he fumed.
“Deal with the youth who are smart to see how best we can do something for the new generation.” Shatta Wale also took issue with what he sees as political hypocrisy, particularly regarding the promotion of Ghanaian culture.
He criticized politicians for urging citizens to embrace local languages while ensuring their own children follow a different path.
“The last time I was watching a programme and said we have to teach our children how to speak Twi because that is our culture.
Meanwhile, the kids of these politicians are not doing the same,” he pointed out.

For the *Ayoo* hitmaker, many of these cultural initiatives are merely tactics for politicians to exploit state resources. He warned that he would personally call out any government official who continues to push what he sees as empty rhetoric.
“If these politicians come into power, they want to use a strategy to spend state money. Let me see any MP or minister saying that again; I would remove the person myself,” he declared.
