Shatta Wale Faces Heavy Damages After Losing Defamation Case to Akwasi Aboagye

• Shatta Wale faced the prospect of paying heavy damages after the Accra High Court granted an injunction in favour of media personality Akwasi Aboagye
• The injunction, announced in a statement released on Monday, January 19, 2026, stemmed from a lawsuit over alleged defamatory comments made against the veteran broadcaster
• The ruling stirred debate online, coming just days after reports that Shatta Wale had initiated a separate lawsuit against Blakk Rasta over similar defamatory comments

Ghanaian dancehall king Shatta Wale faces huge damages after losing a court case to popular media personality, Akwasi Aboagye.

The Accra High Court, General Jurisdiction Division 8, granted an injunction application submitted by the former presenter of Peace FM's Entertainment Review.

The application followed a TikTok live broadcast on May 6, 2024, in which the two defendants in the case, dancehall singer Charles Nii Armah Mensah, aka Shatta Wale, and Valentina Agyeiwaa, aka Afia Schwarzenegger, allegedly made comments against the plaintiff that were deemed defamatory.

During the broadcast, they claimed that Kwasi Aboagye engaged in criminal conduct and infidelity, among others.

The media personality took action by filing a lawsuit in late 2024 seeking an apology, retraction, an injunction against the defendants from passing further defamatory comments, and GH₵ 8 million in damages.

According to a statement released on January 19, the judge granted one of the plaintiff’s reliefs after the defendants failed to respond and file a defence, moving the case forward to the damages stage.
