Shatta Wale has questioned why he is always the object of consistent criticism for even the most trivial stuff he does despite the many imperfections of his colleague musicians, who are rather considered the “good guys”.
The dancehall artiste points out that he is designated as the ‘controversy king,’ despite the fact that fellow artists like Stonebwoy and Sarkodie have been embroiled in even more serious scandals.
Shatta’s remarks come as a response to Ola Michael, who disapproved of his qualification for the receipt of a diplomatic passport, citing his ‘questionable behavior’ on social media.

“Imagine Shatta Wale is given a diplomatic passport. Just imagine. I am sure there are rules pertaining to the acquisition of a diplomatic passport and even Ghanaian artistes are not part of the deserving people. It has to do with diplomats. We cannot give someone like Shatta Wale a diplomatic passport for him to rain insults on people on social media anyhow. This issue should not be massaged,” Ola earlier disclosed on United Showbiz.
Shatta Wale not only retaliated with a diss track aimed at the NeatFM presenter, but also delved into what he perceives as preferential treatment within the industry.
“If you want to do favoritism and take sides, you support Stonebwoy and Sarkodie and say they are the best, they will keep disgracing us. How can you make a statement like imagine Shatta Wale with a diplomatic passport?“
“I can also say imagine Stonebwoy who has pulled a gun on stage. Imagine Sarkodie who has done an abortion with a woman and recorded a diss track for her afterward. What will you say about it? Nobody is perfect in this world. We just have to stop playing around with this business because it is business,” he fumed during an interview with Empire 102.7FM.

He also questioned why he is constantly compared to artistes like Sarkodie and Stonebwoy.
Shatta Wale cited that the two, especially Sarkodie, were nowhere when he started music.
“The moment you compare me to Sarkodie then you make him feel big. When I talk to him, he wants to rub shoulders with me. Where I have been, he hasn’t been there before. You people make it seem like Sarkodie is bigger than me. He can never be bigger than me in his life,” he added.
