Going forward
Following his release and the smoking video, YEN.com.gh had a chat with entertainment writer Owusu Worae for his thoughts.
Worae, who is the head of entertainment news at TV3, was happy that Shatta Wale had been released.
He added that the Melissa hitmaker should learn big lessons from the saga and know refrain from portraying himself as a bad guy.
"It is good he has been released but he should know that such videos will only portray him as bad when he appears in court.
"He should now be exhibiting signs of changed behaviour and remorse rather than showing himself as a 'hard guy.'

Shatta Wale and the three others, who had been arrested earlier, were put before court on Thursday, October 21.
