Shatta Wale fights online anti-galamsey protesters
The dancehall musician took to his X account to reply to critics who have been blasting him for his alleged involvement in galamsey.
In one of his many posts on X, Shatta Wale replied to an X user, Nii Mamah Martey, who asked him why he opposed solving galamsey, which polluted the forest reserve and the water bodies.
The On God hitmaker replied that galamsey had existed even before Nii's parents were born and that the practice was not recent.
"Masa Galamsey deh before dem born your father and moda," Shatta Wale wrote on his X account.
Shatta Wale went on to say that if galamsey destroyed the water consumed by Ghanaians, it would have turned into clay by now since the practice had been going on for so many years.
The dancehall musician then lashed out at Nii, telling him to keep quiet because he was a 'novice' in politics.
"If ego spoil wanna water like by now u turn clay …shut up if you don’t know about politics," he continued.
