Controversy
In October 2021, Shatta Wale allegedly created a hoax that he was shot and was receiving treatment. He later turned himself in due to the police declaring him wanted.[36] He was arrested by the Ghana Police Service for allegedly involved in the creation and circulation of information to create fear and panic.[37] [38] He was remanded into prison custody for a week.[39] [40] [41] On Tuesday, 26 October 2021, Shatta Wale was granted a GH¢100,000 self-recognizance bail at today's hearing.

Shatta Wale complained of unfair treatment at the meeting after all his colleagues were allegedly allowed to use their phones and he was not. He later reported to the meeting and knelt before the IGP George Akuffo Dampare to ask for forgiveness.[45]
Beef with Sheldon
In 2023, Charles and Kwadwo Sheldon of Kwadwo Sheldon Studios (KSS) went into entertainment beefing. The source of this beef was a comment made by Sheldon; "In his songs, Shatta Wale portrays himself as a gangster, yet he contacted the police following an online dispute". Sheldon said in an interview that he was reported to the IGP of Ghana, George Akuffo Dampare by Shatta Wale on charges of belittling his work.[46] [47] On May 3, 2024, upon Shatta arriving at the London airport before his performance at Indigo at The O2, Shatta Wale visibly snubbed YouTuber Kwadwo Sheldon, who had extended his hand in greeting.[48]
#OccupyJulorbiHouse
Dancehall artist Shatta Wale joined the discussion surrounding the OccupyJulorbiHouse protest, expressing his disapproval of the arrest of demonstrators who were marching towards Jubilee House on September 21. His criticism of the arrests garnered support from many of his fans, some of whom suggested that he should create a song dedicated to President Akufo-Addo.[49]
The Lawyer Dream
During an October 2023 interview with BBC's Stefania Okereke, Shatta Wale expressed regret for not pursuing a career in law. He said, "I'm considering becoming a lawyer in the future when he feels financially ready", despite his music career, as law was his initial aspiration.[50] [51]
Personal life
Shatta Wale has a son called Majesty with Ghanaian socialite Michelle Diamonds. After proposing to the mother of his son on stage at the launch of his Reign Album in 2018,[52] the Shatta couple as they were known seemed destine for the altar until their separation in 2019 over domestic violence issues.[53] In confirming their split, Michelle Diamonds went on Social to say that she was tired of living with a partner who is insecure and has trust issues. "No one wants to be in abusive and draining relationship," she added in her instastory post in 2019.[54]
