He said he would use me as an example and that he has money to pay his lawyers. Shatta, you say you have money and good lawyers, let them serve me quickly. What are they waiting for?
The defamation suit, reportedly filed on 19 January 2026, alleges that Blakk Rasta broadcast false, misleading and scandalous statements intended to tarnish Shatta Wale’s reputation. According to the writ of summons, the video in question quickly drew public attention, amassing over 150,000 views on Facebook and more than 27,000 on YouTube within 24 hours, alongside thousands of comments and reactions.
As the legal drama unfolds, the delay in formally serving Blakk Rasta has sparked debate, raising questions about whether the dispute is genuinely being pursued through the courts or playing out largely online.
