Reactions to SM blogger's arrest and charges

YEN.com.gh has compiled social media comments after Webkid Afrika appeared before the Accra High Court.

Bernard Akudugu wrote:

“Shatta should arrest any Stonebwoy fan destroying his reputation so that we can bring purity to the system. The mf deserves everything happening to him.”

Freeman wrote:

“First of all, when he was doing it, none of you advised him. Secondly, no one said music banter is not part of the game, but insulting and saying false things about his wife and kids is a big no.”

“Why is the conversation all around the arrest and not what the guy said or did?”

Bobby Short wrote:

“Stonebwoy is an intelligent man, some of the time you have to set an example for the young ones coming. We all have free speech to argue, but not to disrespect people like that. We all have our favourites, but that doesn't guarantee you will be disrespectful. I'm a Stonebwoy fan, but I will never stand somewhere and disrespect Shatta just because I'm a Bhim fan. Shatta is a big bird that feeds millions on the street, same happens to Stonebwoy, hence we can choose our favourite over the other, but not to be disrespectful.”

King wrote:

“I think the law must be tested. I think after this issue, Webkid must sue either the police or Stonebwoy for his unlawful treatment and arrest.”
