A fresh wave of controversy has hit Ghana\u2019s entertainment scene as dancehall artiste Shatta Wale and media personality Highest Eri exchanged words on social media following her brief appointment as Public Relations Officer for Medikal\u2019s Beyond Kontrol (BYK) label.<\/p>\n The tension began on November 21, 2025, when Medikal unveiled Erica Nana Akua Appiahimah, popularly known as Highest Eri, as BYK\u2019s official PRO. The rapper noted that her background in radio, TV, and content creation, including work with Hitz FM and Kwadwo Sheldon Studios, made her a suitable fit for the role.<\/p>\n However, the announcement immediately sparked outrage among Shatta Wale\u2019s fanbase, who accused Eri of previously making negative remarks about the \u201cAyoo\u201d hitmaker and his followers. Some fans even threatened to boycott Medikal\u2019s December 13 concert in protest.<\/p>\n I would never disrespect the Ga people \u2013 Highest Eri apologises over language comment<\/p>\n In an effort to calm the backlash, Medikal took to X to promote growth and forgiveness, urging fans to embrace the decision.<\/p>\n \u201cGrowth is when you choose collaboration over conflict\u2026 What\u2019s in the past stays in the past. Let\u2019s welcome her with positive energy,\u201d he posted.<\/p>\n But his appeal did little to settle the unrest.<\/p>\n Shatta Wale soon joined the fray through a series of TikTok live sessions, where he hurled insults at Highest Eri, including jabs at her personal hygiene. In another livestream with Medikal, Wale made sexually suggestive comments about her, further fueling the tension.<\/p>\n Eri fired back on social media, accusing Shatta Wale of dragging her family into the issue.<\/p>\n \u201cHow can u insult my mum when she has a place to sleep? Get your mama a place to sleep first\u2026 by force, dancehall king,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n Shatta Wale responded shortly after, \u201cI have sat down for months watching you insult me and my fans and said nothing cuz this system doesn\u2019t check ppl like you to be straightened. I will use u well\u2026 watch the space!!!\u201d<\/p>\n Additional TikTok live sessions surfaced where he continued to hurl insults at Highest Eri and those connected to her, even advising Medikal to cancel her appointment.<\/p>\n Amid the heated exchanges, Highest Eri announced her resignation from BYK just 24 hours after being appointed.<\/p>\n \u201cHighest Eri is a solid brand\u2026 Note: I am no longer the PRO for BYK. Me p33 Dey do PRO for 24 hours and still got paid,\u201d she posted.<\/p>\n Shatta Wale reacted immediately, mocking her exit.<\/p>\n \u201c24hrs employed and sacked worker, you and hookup be like 5&6. The same way you wan spoil my job the same way SM go do you Aboaba!!\u201d he posted.<\/p>\n The back-and-forth dominated social media trends, especially on X, where both fans and opponents of Shatta Wale aired their views on the exchange.<\/p>\n See the posts below:<\/b><\/p>\n Shatta Wale went on a livestream with Medikal and addressed the pain both BYK and SM fans are feeling over that unnecessary comment making waves.

However, this is a very strategic move for 3 reasons:<\/p>\n 1. Hiring one of your biggest critics means you’ve eliminated one of your biggest critics.<\/p>\n 2.
