The Chief Executive Officer of RuffTown Records, Ricky Nana Agyemang, popularly known as Bullet, has described the arrest of Dancehall star Shatta Wale as a deliberate “witch-hunt,” cautioning that it is not a situation anyone should celebrate.
Speaking at the head office of the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO), where Shatta Wale is being detained over investigations into the tax obligations of his yellow Lamborghini Urus, Bullet accused the authorities of unfairly targeting musicians and celebrities.
“The arrest of Shatta is more of witch-hunting; there is more to it than we don’t understand. The system has been designed for musicians and celebrities to be poor so that they can be suppressed,” he said.
According to Bullet, Shatta Wale’s success has unsettled sections of society who struggle to comprehend how a musician has managed to acquire wealth, purchase a house at Trassaco, and establish companies.
He argued that the system intends to send a signal that artistes are not supposed to attain such levels of success.
Bullet also highlighted Shatta Wale’s transformative impact on the music industry, recalling that years ago, artistes were paid as little as GHC3,000 for performances.
However, because of Shatta Wale’s influence and bold negotiations, Ghanaian musicians can now charge over $100,000 per show.
He added that in the past, artistes could not even afford “a stolen VW vehicle,” but today many are able to purchase luxury cars such as Range Rovers and Rolls Royces.
