Shatta Movement Records, the management team of Shatta Wale has apologized to the Ghana Society of Physically Disabled(GSPD) for their artiste’s mockery remarks about Stonebwoy.
In a statement to address the controversy, the Empire said Wale meant no harm against the disabled group.
Shatta Movement Empire noted that the artiste’s statement “may have been misinterpreted” as he had no intention to mock or belittle individuals with disabilities.
According to the Empire, Wale’s remarks was to “emphasize the importance of Stonebwoy acting right and treating others with respect at all times.”
We understand that the wording of the statement may have been insensitive and we acknowledge the concerns raised…we value and respect the contributions and rights of individuals with disabilities in our society,” excerpts of the statement read.
The Empire assured of its commitment to promote “inclusivity and understanding” and will strive to be more mindful of its words and action in the future.
You recall that Shatta Wale made some mockery remarks about Stonebwoy for boycotting the Abeka Salahfest.
In a viral video, Wale said “Stonebwoy, a disabled man you want to fight me a strong man, I will kick you.”
The GSPD then demanded an apology from the artiste and asked him to retract his statement.
GSPD noted that such a “primitive statement should not have come from a high-profile personality like Shata Wale.”
