In a TikTok live session, the SM boss spoke about the backlash his associate Medikal received from some media personalities, including MC Yaa Yeboah, over an inappropriate incident with a female University of Ghana student at a music event.

Shatta Wale noted that he interacted with his colleague, where he complained about some individuals who had hurled insults at the rapper after the recent incident.

Citing an example, the dancehall musician blamed the media for ruining the once-blossoming career of highlife singer Bisa Kdei after claims that he was an artist who created funeral songs.

He claimed that the Mansa hitmaker has had to find different ways to make money from his music career and has since gone on to amass vast wealth that could pay the salaries of the Despite Media employees.

Shatta Wale warns Despite after radio segment

Shatta Wale threatened to publicly release information about Despite, which would make them both the subjects of FBI investigations if any individual continued to mention his name on the businessman's media outlets.

He claimed that he had some information about the Despite Group of Companies CEO, which would create issues in the country if the businessman continued to ignore his complaints and allow people to speak negatively about him on the airwaves.

"If anyone mistakenly goes on Peace FM or UTV and mentions my name, I will come and say things about Despite that would get me and him in trouble with the FBI. This country won't be able to handle it if I come out and say the things I know about Despite."

Shatta Wale noted that he had profound respect for Despite and considered him a role model, but he had issues with the conduct of his staff and other individuals who go and speak on his media stations.

He warned that he would ignore the advice from prominent people and expose the businessman if he failed to call his staff to order.

According to him, the Despite Automobile Museum owner and the General Manager for the Despite Media Group, Fadda Dickson, had repeatedly failed to address the issue over the years.

Why is Shatta Wale threatening Despite?

Shatta Wale's latest threats against Dr Osei Kwame Despite come days after MC Yaa Yeboah and other pundits condemned Medikal on Neat FM for inappropriately touching a female University of Ghana student during his performance at the Evandy-Bani Hall Week on June 14, 2025.

The media personality also called for serious action to be taken against the rapper for the inappropriate incident.

She and her pundits also spoke about the La Hustle hitmaker's friendship with Shatta Wale and how it had negatively influenced his behaviour in recent years.

MC Yaa Yeboah's criticisms did not go down well with Medikal, who hurled several insults and called her ignorant.
