Charles Nii Armah Mensah, better known by his stage name Shatta Wale, has joined the current craze of impersonators of famous people giving interviews and defending their “trade.”
He chastised the “new” celebrities in a tirade published on the Osu Official TV Facebook page on April 15 and urged them to focus their efforts on other things, such as starting to produce material for the TikTok social media platform.
“The lookalike boys, I am advising you people to find a path. If you don’t have any idea to live the life that you want to live, emulate Jacqueline Appiah and Made In Ghana and others, they are on TikTok creating content,” he lamented.
One of the young boys was advised not to respond to Medikal, who had brought up concerns about their line of work.
Shatta Wale criticized the media for contributing to the popularity of lookalikes. He threatened to attack the impersonators and damn the repercussions because the police and government’s inaction on the matter was partly to fault.
“Those lookalikes they are our junior brothers, junior brothers to Medikal and I, we will teach them how to make money but not with this stupidity you people are trying to teach them.
“Don’t wake up and let some stupid radio presenter and some nonsense blogger write some thrash about you and you also come and defend it as a means to an end,” he fired.
