Ghanaian dancehall musician Shatta Wale has slammed media personality Johnnie Hughes over his subtle jabs at him and other Ghanaian celebrities after his 'godfather,' Kofi Boat's arrest.

In a TikTok live session on Thursday, June 19, 2025, the SM boss played an audio recording of the journalist questioning the source of income of Ghanaians who brag about their acquisitions of expensive, luxurious vehicles like Rolls-Royces in the country.

Shatta Wale, who owns a Rolls-Royce Cullinan he purchased in 2024, called Johnnie Hughes a "poor" man for casting doubts on some Ghanaians' source of wealth.

The Killa Ji Mi hitmaker dragged the 3FM presenter's wife into the issue as he hurled insults at him. He also questioned why the journalist would share his opinions on the matter even though it did not concern him.

He said:

"Who sent you to come and speak on this matter? Who sent you to come and talk about Shatta Wale's matter? Are you a musician or a beatmaker? Or do you do something for Shatta Wale? Are you part of the Shatta Movement?"

Shatta Wale also dared Johnnie Hughes to report him to the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) to come to his residence and probe his Rolls-Royce Cullinan's documents to determine whether he purchased it legally or not.

The media personality threw subtle jabs at Ghanaian celebrities known for frequently flaunting their lavish lifestyles on social media.

He called for the GRA and EOCO to invite some individuals to their offices and get them to open their financial records to explain the source of their wealth.
