Shatta Wale's old photos of galamsey
After several Ghanaians took to social media to blast Shatta Wale for being silent in the fight against galamsey, he responded with a powerful statement saying that the youth should wise up.
He referenced socialite Efia Odo's arrest in the Fix the Country demonstration and how it yielded no results. He encouraged Ghanaians to come together to build the country.
After those statements and several others in which he spoke against the anti-galamsey protest, some social media fans dug up old photos and posts about the dancehall musician's alleged involvement in galamsey.
In one photo, the SAFA album hitmaker posed at a mining site with Chinese officials, while in another, he bragged about going to the site.

Reactions to Shatta Wale's old photos
Some people opined that if Shatta Wale were to be involved in galamsey, he would not have announced it on his social media pages and bragged about it.
