Shatta Wale blast Ghanaians who call his fans thieves and illiterates

Dancehall artiste Shatta Wale has decried why some Ghanaians refer to his fans as the worst society has to offer. In a tweet response to journalist Gary Al-Smith, Shatta Wale described the situation as a "silent reflections of society".

Al-Smith had tweeted about how Ghanaians look down on members of the acclaimed Shatta Movement. The Movement is a collection of fans of the artiste.

Some concerned members of Shatta Movement have been complaining about how people view them as illiterates and sometimes, thieves. This perception has been a long-living one.

Al-Smith tweeted: "“There is a certain image of @shattawalegh that, as a fan, hurts me very much. Apparently we are all low class, uncouth, illogical vagabonds.

Many of us are actually decent, logical and thoughtful. Hopefully the image changes. I must admit this meme is funny tho. Lol”.
