Ghanaian dancehall artist Shatta Wale has publicly voiced his frustration with what he perceives as Ghana’s failure to appreciate and celebrate its successful and talented citizens.
In a heated rant on social media, Shatta Wale described Ghana as a “stupid country” and revealed his intention to move to Nigeria. He even went as far as requesting a Nigerian passport, signaling his desire to disassociate from his home country.
The trigger for his outburst remains unclear, but it followed backlash he received after hosting Nigerian influencer Peller. Many Ghanaians criticized Shatta Wale for associating with someone they regarded merely as a TikTok personality, claiming that he was elevating someone unworthy of such recognition.
Shatta Wale, however, dismissed the criticisms, expressing deep frustration over the constant scrutiny and negative commentary he faces in Ghana. In an Instagram post dated April 13, 2025, he wrote:
“Nigerians, please tell President Tinubu or your government so I can get a Nigerian passport. This is a toilet country because they don’t appreciate successful people. I want to sell my house here and buy properties in Nigeria. You people should give me a Nigerian name because Ghana is a stupid country.”
He added, “If I buy a house, they will say it is not mine; even when I bought my new car, they said it’s not mine. Ghana is a stupid country, and I want to relocate.” he said.
