Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Shatta Wale, a popular Dancehall musician, has publicly condemned Ghanaian social media figure Kalyjay for his social media posts urging people to protest against illegal mining (Galamsey) and demanding the release of protesters at Democracy Hub.
Kalyjay, an acclaimed influencer who spearheaded the online protest, received criticism from Shatta Wale for alleged political motivations.
Kalyjay responded to the allegations on social media by indicating that, regardless of whether or not the NDC paid him to bring up the galamsey issue (which he refutes), it is still crucial to advocate for clean water.
“Let me get something straight. So let’s say NDC have paid me (even though they haven’t paid me) to push a Galamsey agenda. Are you saying you won’t fight for clean water for yourself because I’ve been paid?“ Kalyjay wrote.
In response, Shatta Wale criticised Kalyjay for what he perceived as “political tweets” and urged him to take action on the streets if he genuinely wanted to make a difference.
“Please can you go and fight on the streets and let’s see and stop all this political tweets… I respect you waaa but stop pushing innocent youths here with this agenda. Twitter won’t solve Ghana’s problems if you yourself don’t go out on the streets and do what you have been typing as an example for us all to see… Please stop it. Politics is not entertainment. Thank you,“ Shatta Wale retorted.
An X (formerly Twitter) user then defended Kalyjay, stating, “@gyaigyimii has always put himself out there… if you won’t help in fighting for the betterment of the country… stay mute and let those who care do it.” However, this provoked Shatta Wale, who fired back at the comment. “Go with him on the streets and stop typing English here like a fool. People’s parents and women are behind bars, and he is here… was he part? Foolish talk,” the dancehall artist replied.
