Ghana’s dancehall heavyweight, Shatta Wale, has once again seized the spotlight, this time not for his music, but for a storm of controversy involving industry disputes, luxury cars, and a deepening legal tangle.
The week opened with a heated online clash between Shatta Wale and music producer MOG Beatz, reigniting long-standing tensions between the two. MOG Beatz accused the artiste of exploiting his intellectual property to deceive an international company out of millions.

The issue grew more complicated when attention shifted to Shatta Wale’s 2019 Lamborghini Urus. The vehicle has been tied to a fraud case involving Nana Kwabena Amuah, a Ghanaian currently serving a seven-year prison sentence in the United States over a $4.7 million scam. Ghana’s Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) confirmed that the car was seized as part of a restitution process at the request of the US FBI and Department of Justice.
