In a recent development, the Ghana Society of the Physically Disabled has raised concerns over a video posted by Ghanaian musician Shatta Wale.
The video, which has stirred controversy, depicts Shatta Wale mocking fellow musician Stonebwoy by imitating a limp and making derogatory comments.
In the video, Shatta was heard saying, “You are a bad person that is why God made you a disabled person. You are a disabled person, don’t fight an able person.”
Expressing their discontent, the society has demanded that Shatta Wale retract his statements and issue an apology to all individuals with disabilities.
Furthermore, they have urged him to remove the video from all social media platforms since it is an act of irresponsibility and a punishable offence.
The group emphasized that being a disabled person does not mean a person has been cursed by God.
The remarks made by Shatta Wale have been deemed distasteful and offensive by many, prompting calls for accountability and sensitivity towards people with disabilities.
The society emphasizes the importance of respecting individuals of all abilities and avoiding actions that perpetuate stigma or discrimination.
As the controversy continues to unfold, stakeholders await Shatta Wale’s response and hope for a swift resolution that promotes inclusivity and understanding within the community.
