Homowo Festival: Shatta Wale jabs EOCO

YEN.com.gh reported that dancehall musician Shatta Wale sparked conversations at the 2025 Osu Homowo Festival with a daring statement during his performance.

In front of a charged crowd, the outspoken artiste declared that if the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) came after him again, he would buy a third Lamborghini within two months to prove his resilience.

His comments, however, drew mixed reactions. While some fans cheered him on for his boldness, others criticised the statement, urging him to take valuable lessons from his recent legal tussle with EOCO instead of making defiant remarks.
