Speaking during a television discussion on Joy News, Awal Mohammed unintentionally disrespected SM fans when he tried to reference Shatta Wale's arrest and the protest pulled up by his fans.
In the midst of putting his message across, he used certain descriptions that were deemed unacceptable
This did not sit well with Shatta Movement fans, who lashed out at the politician, sparking an intense debate on social media and prompting Ghanaians to share their opinions.
Following a massive jab, Awal Mohammed stormed social media to render an unqualified apology to Shatta Movement.
He accepted his mistake and explained that it was a slip of the tongue and didn't mean to disrespect them in such a manner.
“Upon reflection, I realised the term used and my choice of words were wrong and unnecessary, and I’m truly sorry for that. I respect the passion of SM fans, and I'm here to apologise to each and every one who got offended by my statement.
