There are thousands of workers lured from other countries to 'work' in Dubai who are merely 'slaves' to the business owners. I've watched documentaries depicting their horrible stories on Aljazera.
Be careful! don't fall for it! Because, it is not as easy as you think!

Shatta is not the only musician who has targetted the so-called "GHETTO" fan base. Bob Marley's appeal was also the 'down-trodden' but he became an international star!
The lawyer's analysis is 'bull-shit' and it is coming from his 'displeasure' about the destruction of vodafone bill boards. I condemn any kind of violence including the one against other people's property. So that act is unacceptable.
The Lawyer's analysis is that because the 'ghetto' fans are poor it is not a smart move to make music that they would patronize. Again, that is bull-shit!
In the music industry, what is important is to make 'good music'. If the 'optics' and the 'audios' of the music/song is good, it will sell, period.
So the lawyer must stop this unnecessary propaganda!

Besides what's avangarde abt the kinda music out there ? Isn't it all kitch ?

You are so wrong with this write up . Get your head outta ur ass and appreciate what this guy is doing . He has a following and it's frightening the influence he wields . He represents their struggle and their aspirations for a better tomorrow .

To the youth he embodies perseverance and self believe .

He is a classic case of what it means to be Ghanaian ; "Boy never gives up " . He is just started . Watch him .

Me , I just luv his hustle !!!

That lawyer is a joker. Sarkodie is nothing compared to shatta wale. What has he achieved in his over 10years .NOTHING . Now he realizes that his way behind and decided to do a senseless song calls Hand to mouth full of lies. Let him show us his houses he claims he has build. Dancehall is not hip life . The ghetto fanbase is what has made Ghana music rice now. He thinks this be courtroom where you deceive people

This lawyer is actually not making any sense here.You can't compare Sark to Shatta.Sark invest more in branding himself than Shatta so it's obvious he get the hype but yet again not much profit.After taking out the expenses he's left with nothing much in his pocket.Shatta spend's and make more and everything goes direct into his pocket.
About vandalising properties do you have any evidence to back your claim? you can be sued for your stupid comment sir! stop tarnishing Shatta Wale's image.

Man, you are in Ghana, a place where people hate the truth. Shatta's fans will blast you, as usual, for saying the truth.
