(Video) Shatta Wale clashes with fan who attempted to steal his jewellery on stage at Ningo Dzokoto Festival

During a recent performance at the Ningo Dzokoto festival, popular Ghanaian dancehall artist Shatta Wale found himself in an altercation with a fan that almost escalated into violence.

The incident occurred when Wale was on stage, engaging with the crowd, as is typical during his energetic performances.

However, things took a turn when one overzealous fan tried to pull Shatta Wale’s hand and seemingly attempted to snatch jewellery from his wrist.

The dancehall king, known for his no-nonsense attitude, quickly realised what was happening and reacted by pulling back his hand to prevent the theft.

In a fit of anger, Wale attempted to kick the fan and then proceeded to confront him.

Shatta Wale, clearly irritated by the incident, sent a stern warning to the crowd, stating that he would not hesitate to beat up anyone who tried to steal from him again.

Not one to shy away from expressing his feelings, Shatta Wale took it a step further by boasting about his own street smarts.

He boldly claimed that he was a “bigger thief” than the fan who tried to rob him, using this statement to assert his dominance.

In his trademark style, Wale peppered his speech with a string of profanities, leaving no room for doubt about his frustration.

The altercation was quickly diffused, but the moment has since sparked conversation online, with fans and critics weighing in on Shatta Wale’s reaction.

Some have applauded him for standing his ground, while others have questioned whether the situation could have been handled differently.

Shatta Wale, whose performances are often characterised by high energy and fan interaction, has never been one to shy away from controversy.

Known for his outspoken personality, he has built a reputation as one of Ghana’s most unapologetic artists, always ready to confront any challenge head-on, whether it’s in his music or in moments like this.

Despite the tense encounter, Shatta Wale continued with his performance, maintaining his usual level of showmanship.

The Ningo Dzokoto festival, an annual event that draws large crowds, remained in full swing, and Wale’s set was one of the highlights of the weekend.
