He indicated that when the Food and Drugs Authority issued a similar directive to prevent celebs from advertising for alcoholic beverage and drink companies, many people did not rise up against the decision.
He however added that this new directive from the Gaming Commission was going to affect a lot of celebs and asked them to rally under one voice to challenge the move.
Shatta Wale added that there were times that when he heard of some decisions taken by the leaders, he wondered what their motives were.
He said this new directive would affect almost all industry players since they all resorted to working with betting companies after they were barred from working with alcohol companies.
