Radio and media personality Blakk Rasta has responded to Shatta Wale’s defamation suit, describing the legal action as an unnecessary move.
Blakk Rasta criticized the musician on his Blakk Empire Media platform after news of the lawsuit began circulating. According to him, there was no evident bone of contention, as he was only relaying the controversial statements Shatta Wale had publicly made about his involvement in fraud.
“A man has already confessed that he is King of Fraud and said, I am a Sakawa boy, I am not a musician. We only help trumpet what you said about yourself, and now you’re running to the police and the courts. What’s going on?” Blakk Rasta questioned.
The radio broadcaster revealed that he had not been served an official court document but was expecting the summons and had no intention of evading any legal action taken against him.
“We have been expecting the summons for some time now. We are still waiting for the court bailiff. Blakk Rasta is not someone who hides; I am always at 3FM every day from noon to 3 pm. Feel free to bring it,” he said.
In a surprising twist, Blakk Rasta applauded Shatta Wale’s decision to seek legal means to settle the issue rather than resorting to his old antics of insults, threats, and intimidation, which had stirred up feuds in the Ghanaian music industry.
“I respect anyone who chooses the proper legal route to address grievances instead of handling issues in the street. You might be surprised both of us could walk into court together,” he claimed.
He also expressed scepticism about the musician’s chances of receiving the GH₵100 million in damages, calling the amount unrealistic and stating that he didn’t have the funds to pay.
“Shatta Wale knows that even if he shakes me hard, he won’t get that money. If you turn Blakk Rasta upside down, only coins will fall. He knows it,” he added.
On January 15, 2026, Shatta Wale (Charles Nii Armah Mensah Jr) filed a defamation suit against Blakk Rasta (Abubakar Ahmed) over a video published on December 15, 2025, titled “Shatta Wale, Self-Confessed King of Fraud.”
According to Shatta Wale’s statement of claim, the video’s comments were false, malicious, and intended to damage his reputation. He alleges that the remarks falsely portrayed him as dishonest, corrupt, and involved in fraudulent activities, including associations with fraudsters.
