Ghanaian dancehall musician, Shatta Wale
Ghanaian dancehall musician, Charles Nii Armah Mensah, popularly known as Shatta Wale, has reacted to the arrest of business mogul, Kofi Boat, by the FBI over an alleged million-dollar fraud scheme.
Reports from multiple media platforms on June 18, 2025, indicated that Kofi Boat, together with another man identified as Agony and a third accomplice, had been arrested by the FBI in connection with a $100 million fraud scheme.
In a live session on Facebook on June 19, 2025, the popular dancehall sensation responded to the allegations leveled against the embattled Kofi Boat.
He argued that Kofi Boat who is his “godfather” is not a fraudster as widely speculated.
The visibly emotional Shatta Wale during the live video session was seen shedding tears as he vehemently defended Kofi Boat; debunking the allegations.
According to him, Kofi Boat has been linked to the fraudulent activity due to a business gone bad.
He called on God for His divine intervention to vindicate Kofi Boat.
“God, if you are there, make people know that Kofi Boat is not a scammer. Herh! Kofi Boat. Mama Joyce, I make sorry. I feel bad charlie. Sake of Kofi, I no dey sleep,” he lamented in pidgin.
Shatta Wale further extended his sympathy to Kofi Boat’s wife and his children.
“I dey picture Kofi Boat in kiddies and I no dey fit. Who told you Kofi Boat is a scammer? It is just a business that went wrong. What do you mean? Do you mean that (sic)Kofi Boat will sit behind a computer and browse?
“But that is how the world is. If you don’t take (sic) care, you can do one wrong business; that is why I am careful. That is why I don’t make friends anymore,” he added.
