The Shatta Movement Boss has spoken after release of Samini’s Kpoyaka song



Few days ago Kwaw kese condemned some artist endorsing political parties, according to kwaw kese , Samini and Sarkodie are political artistes who have chosen to endorse the New Patriotic Party just to make money.

Well, this time is Charles Nii Armah popularly known as Shatta Wale talking about artist endorsing political parties. Shatta Wale has questioned Samini on why he made a U-turn after he said he won’t endorse any political party in a video which resurfaced online. The Shatta Movement Boss has labeled Samini as confused in an interview on a radio station.

Shatta Wale in an interview with Ike De Unpredictable on Kumasi-based radio station ,Angel FM said,” You told Ghanaians including your supporters that you will never endorse any political party. Yon condemned celebrities endorsing political parties but now Samini has endorsed NPP. He is confused and a liar. Supporters of Samini and Ghanaians shouldn’t trust Samini again for making a sudden U-turn on political party endorsement”

‘I will surely get time for Samini very soon because I won’t allow him to deceive Ghanaians. You told us you won’t ever endorse a political party but now you are happy doing it. Liar and confused Samini can never be trusted.
