Video: Unhappy Shatta Wale briefly stopped Tamale performance to slam security over alleged fan assault
At a recent concert in Tamale, Shatta Wale abruptly stopped his performance to call out a disturbing incident unfolding in the crowd, an alleged assault on a fan by the security team. The Ghanaian dancehall star didn’t hesitate to publicly reprimand those responsible.
A video from the event has since gone viral, capturing the exact moment Wale addressed the chaos from the stage.
“Stop beating my fans and go to war,” he said, drawing a thunderous cheer from the audience.
His message was clear and emotional. Shatta Wale stressed that fans are the foundation of his career and should be treated with dignity, not violence, especially at an event meant to honor their support.
“We are the ones that vote for presidents and we make presidents, so anybody that works for government works for us,” he stated, broadening his criticism to include institutional power and the importance of public accountability.
With a visibly impassioned tone, the Shatta Movement frontman urged his security personnel to remember their duty is to serve and protect, not intimidate.
The incident has triggered an outpouring of support online, with many praising Shatta Wale for using his platform to take a stand against brutality. Fans commended him for confronting the issue in real time and reinforcing the principle that concertgoers deserve respect, not harm.
