“When I heard that Shatta Wale has been arrested, I started fearing Dampare. He’s my friend but now I fear him,” he said on GTV’s Breakfast Show.
“If you say you’re crazy, he’s crazier than you. He arrested Shatta Wale, the king of music in Ghana. I’m changing my life. Dampare is a no-nonsense man.”

Shatta Wale, who has since been release, was arrested for pranking the nation with claims he has been shot.

Although, the boxer has done nothing wrong, he is cautious of his actions because of the new Inspector General of Police.
