Ghanaian dancehall artist Shatta Wale has once again found himself at the center of controversy after a heated exchange with media personality Abena Moet lit up social media over the weekend.
The drama began when Abena Moet, during a lighthearted segment of the popular “Smash, Marry, Shoot” game, made a controversial choice that many found distasteful. In her response, she stated: “I’ll marry Jim Iyke, smash Tinny, and sh00t Shatta Wale.”
Though the game is often played in jest, her remarks quickly caught the attention of fans and followers, sparking debate and anticipation over how Shatta Wale—known for his unfiltered responses—would react.
As expected, Shatta Wale did not take the comment lightly. Taking to his social media platform, the self-acclaimed dancehall king unleashed a scathing and explicit response directed at Abena Moet, using harsh and derogatory language that has since drawn criticism from a section of the public.
“Because your [explicit] smells so you will sh00t me… Madam wutsw3 b)n? Dem [explicit] you saaaa, we know your story… F00lish u,gly Litch…” Shatta Wale posted.
His reply has ignited another wave of backlash, with many fans and media personalities condemning both the initial comment and the vulgarity of Wale’s reaction. Critics argue that while Abena Moet’s choice of words was provocative, Shatta Wale’s response was unnecessarily personal and disrespectful.
As the online feud escalates, some voices in the entertainment industry are calling for calm, urging both parties to de-escalate and avoid fueling further negativity. Others have called for a broader conversation about responsible commentary and public discourse, particularly among influential figures.
Neither Abena Moet nor Shatta Wale has issued a formal apology as of yet. The incident adds to the growing list of Shatta Wale’s fiery run-ins with the media and fellow celebrities, further cementing his reputation as one of Ghana’s most controversial entertainers.
It remains to be seen whether this altercation will lead to any formal sanctions or public reconciliation. For now, social media continues to buzz with divided opinions over where the line between entertainment and disrespect should be drawn.
