I blacklisted Shatta Wale’s content from my page for 7 years – Ameyaw Debrah explains why

Ameyaw Debrah, a popular Ghanaian blogger has disclosed that he has barred dancehall singer Shatta Wale’s content from his pages for about 7 years.

The journalist said he received a threat from the controversial singer, telling him to stop posting his works on his pages if he values his life.

Speaking on Accra-based Hitz FM, Mr Debrah noted that he heeded Shatta Wale’s warning and never went contrary for seven years.

Even at that, Ameyaw Debrah said he was still successful in his work, regardless of the fact that he didn’t have the singer’s fingerprints on his blog.

"Shatta Wale once told me, "If you value your life, do not write about me." I then blacklisted him for 7 years or so. I mean, if you don’t write about a particular artist and you still thrive in your business, then it means I don’t really care about you," the blogger revealed.

He, however, noted that Shatta Wale’s threat didn’t move him, but he just wanted to abide by it "because you can’t force yourself to promote someone’s work without being appreciated."

"I didn’t feel threatened when Shatta Wale told me that if I valued my life, I shouldn’t write about him," he said.

According to him, the self-acclaimed dancehall king’s content may now be found on his page because he has workers who like creating content about dancehall.
