The Shatta Movement Empire has Issued an Apology to Ghana Society of the Physically Disabled after Shatta Wale was filmed “mocking” the disability of his colleague, Stonebwoy.
In response to a recent incident where Shatta Wale was captured on video allegedly “mocking” the disability of fellow artist Stonebwoy, the Shatta Movement Empire has extended their apologies to the members of the Ghana Society of the Physically Disabled (GSPD).
A letter addressed to the GSPD and signed by Shatta Wale’s manager, Samuel Atuobi Baah, expressed regret over the incident. Baah clarified that the ‘Melisa’ hitmaker had no intention of ridiculing or demeaning individuals with disabilities.
Popularly known as Sammy Flex, the manager stated that Shatta Wale’s actions were aimed at emphasizing the importance of mutual respect and proper conduct, particularly in interactions with others.
“We understand that the wording of the statement may have been insensitive and we acknowledge the concerns raised.
“It was not our intention to cause any harm, and we value and respect the contributions and rights of individuals with disabilities in our society,” he wrote.
Sammy Flex said the Shatta Movement is committed to promoting inclusivity and understanding.
“…we will strive to be more mindful of our words and actions in the future. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we appreciate your understanding,” he added.
Shatta Wale at the Fadama Sallah Fest went after Stonebwoy for his absence at the highly anticipated Sallahfest event.
Addressing his statements in a press release the GSPD indicated that they had “seen a video circulating on social media where Shatta Wale mocks Stonebwoy with his disability.
In the video, Shatta Wale said among other negative statements “You are a bad person that is why God made you a disabled person, you are a disabled person don’t try and fight an able person”.”
“By this statement, he is trying to say all persons with disabilities are bad that is why God has made us who we are. This primitive statement should not have come from a high-profile personality like Shata Wale,” the statement read.
