The musician according to multiple news portals – including Pulse GH and Starr FM, was allegedly shot by unknown gunmen at East Legon, a suburb of Accra.
The news attributed to his personal assistant, Nana Dhope, also has it that he has been rushed to an unnamed hospital and is receiving emergency treatment.
On social media platforms, especially Twitter, there is a mixture of uncertainty, dismay and disbelief at the news.
The skeptical reactions dominate as a number of people relate to a prophecy last month that Wale will be shot today.
For others, they are certain that Shatta Wale is looking to leverage on this ‘prank’ to promote his upcoming album.
Below are some reactions:
Is nana dhope serious about this
Or their just playing mind Games with us, or
Is it Because the pastor said shatta wale will be shot dead on the 18th of October so they’re trying to play along ? pic.twitter.com/nwc9REAog7— K.sammmmm (@Ksam_70) October 18, 2021

A pastor said someone will shot you this month so you and team planned to lie the whole Ghana and give your fans unnecessarily heart break. Without clout Shatta Wale won’t be bigger. 😭😭
