Veteran guitarist, Anthony Aka Blay is not happy about some of Shatta Wale\u2019s actions.<\/p>\n

Despite Shatta\u2019s talent and popularity, the \u2018Taking Away\u2019 singer believes that he has a negative impact on the youth.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Graphic Showbiz, Akablay said Shatta Wale is not helping the youth with some of his utterances and acts.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith his large fan base I don\u2019t expect Shatta Wale to use certain words and engage in indecent acts. I know he has the largest fan base in Ghana at the moment but what impact is he making on them?<\/p>\n

The youth are engaged in all sorts of bad activities because they see him as their role model and blindly copy what he does,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He however suggested that because Shatta Wale has a lot of influence on the youth, he needs to channel his energy into promoting positive things which will make them a better people.<\/p>\n

\u201cI expect a lot from him as the leader he claims to be because the youth are going wayward and I will blame it largely on him,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Akablay, is known for songs like \u2018Taking Away,\u2019 \u2018Life in The Pot,\u2019 \u2018Life,\u2019 \u2018Edoke,\u2019 \u2018Genesis,\u2019 among others.<\/p>\n

Akablay has travelled around the world and played in different countries such as Germany, Denmark, Norway, France, Sweden and Italy.<\/p>\n

In 2009, he was adjudged Best Instrumentalist at the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards.<\/p>\n

He also won the Best Guitar Player trophy at the 2014 Best Instrumentalists of Africa Festival in Cotonou.<\/p>\n
