Erica Nana Akua Appiahnimah, a.k.a. Highest Eri, the social media personality who recently bantered Shatta Wale, has reportedly lost her TikTok account.
Eri's TikTok account, which had over 90,000 followers, is suspected to have been banned after mass reporting by Shatta's fans.
It is not exactly known when TikTok took down the account. However, a new account purported to belong to Highest Eri shared a screenshot of her ban notice.

In a video, she had the screenshot on one side while she danced with a young man to Shatta Wale's Taking Over.
In her caption, she indicated that this was her new account and urged her admirers to follow for her to get back to the level she was.
"My new account. Team highest let's do this," she captioned the video.
The new account already has over 3,000 followers after one day. The old account happened to be her largest follower base across social media, surpassing all her other accounts combined.
Highest Eri and Shatta Wale’s banter over Medikal
While she did not share any details as to what might have triggered the ban, the incident follows a well-publicised dispute between Eri and the musicians Shatta Wale and Medikal, leading a section of social media to point it as the cause.
The social media feud started after Medikal attempted to appoint Highest Eri as the official PRO for his Beyond Kontrol (BYK) label, citing her experience in media.
Medikal's announcement on November 21, 2025, sparked a backlash from fans of Shatta Wale, who describes Medikal as a good friend. Citing some negative remarks Highest Eri had made about them in the past, Shatta Wale's fanbase immediately expressed outrage, with some vowing to boycott Medikal's upcoming concert at the Accra Sports Stadium on December 13.
See the video of Medikal's concert below:
Amid the controversy, Shatta Wale, who recently donated to Hurricane Melissa victims in Jamaica, through Vybz Kartel, blasted Highest Eri and publicly warned Medikal not to work with Eri during a live TikTok session.
She subsequently resigned from her new role, barely 24 hours after the appointment, claiming to have been handsomely paid for her short stint.
After resigning, Highest Eri, who works with Kwadwo Sheldon Studios (KSS), responded to Shatta Wale's attacks, leading to a full-scale banter online.
It is believed that some Shatta Wale fans who were not pleased with her behaviour have tried to take revenge on her by reporting her account.

Medikal, Shatta, Highest Eri situation could've been better
Reacting to the banter and loss of Highest Eri's TikTok account music journalist Gabriel Myers Hansen noted that the situation could have been handled better.
For to the Music in Africa editor, the whole saga reeks of unprofessionalism, adding that there was too much around it.
"The Highest Eri situation exposes a fundamental problem in Ghana's entertainment industry: the lack of professional boundaries between artists, media personalities, and fans. Her 24-hour tenure as Medikal's PRO and the subsequent fallout reveal an industry that operates more on social media drama than professional standards. When career-defining decisions can be unmade in a day because of online backlash, and when someone can lose their primary platform due to beef with an artist, it suggests we need more structured, professional frameworks for how the industry operates. The entertainment business cannot thrive long-term on chaos and fan warfare," he advised
Highest Eri's ban excites Shatta Wale's fans
While Highest Eri seems to have started on a good note in her attempt to get back her TikTok followers, it seems that the quest is not going to be easy. Many fans of Shatta Wale, who were excited by the ban, have vowed to get the new account taken down, too.
