If The IGP And The CID Boss Don’t Go For Shatta Wale Then They Are Useless By Blakk Rasta

Journalist and media personality Blakk Rasta has called on the Inspector-General of Police and the CID Director-General to take action against dancehall artiste Shatta Wale, arguing that failure to do so would make them “useless.”Showdown Trends graphic (19 October 2026); comments by Blakk Rasta and related reports on Shatta Wale’s ShattaFest statements.

In comments reported on 19 October 2026, Blakk Rasta said: “If the IGP and the CID boss don’t go for Shatta Wale, then they are useless. They don’t have the right to go after ‘Ghana Jollof’.”The remarks follow Shatta Wale’s statements at ShattaFest 2026 on 17 October, where the musician acknowledged having friends involved in fraud but declared he would not snitch on them. He also criticised what he described as selective justice, claiming young people are arrested for fraud while some public officials accused of stealing state funds face little consequence.

Blakk Rasta questioned why authorities moved against the TikTok personality known as Ghana Jollof, who was linked to online threats, while Shatta Wale’s public admission about associating with fraudsters has not attracted similar scrutiny.

The debate has reignited discussions about equal application of the law in Ghana. Supporters of Blakk Rasta’s position argue that influential figures should not be treated differently from ordinary citizens. Others maintain that Shatta Wale’s comments, while controversial, do not constitute a criminal offence in themselves and that police action must be based on concrete evidence of wrongdoing.

Shatta Wale has previously faced questioning by EOCO over the source of funds for a luxury vehicle but has consistently insisted that his wealth comes from his music career. The CID Director-General, COP Lydia Yaako Donkor, was reportedly present at the ShattaFest event where the artiste made the remarks.

The exchange between Blakk Rasta and the issues surrounding Shatta Wale highlights ongoing public sensitivity around accountability, celebrity influence and the perception of selective enforcement by security agencies.
