Shatta Wale has publicly addressed the controversy surrounding his seized Lamborghini Urus, following reports by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) that the luxury vehicle is tied to convicted Ghanaian fraudster Nana Kwabena Amuah.
According to EOCO, the 2019 Lamborghini Urus was flagged after U.S. authorities traced it back to a money laundering and wire fraud case involving Nana Kwabena Amuah, who is currently serving an 86-month prison sentence in the United States. EOCO confirmed it seized the vehicle in June 2025 as part of a joint operation with American law enforcement.
In a TikTok Live session, the outspoken musician denied any connection to the said individual, stating emphatically, “I don’t know any Nana Amuah. I’m just a third-party owner who bought the car in good faith.”
Shatta Wale explained that he acquired the Lamborghini through a local car dealer for $150,000 and had no knowledge of any criminal history associated with the vehicle.
He expressed shock upon hearing that the car was allegedly part of an ongoing international investigation involving the FBI and the U.S. Department of Justice.
Shatta Wale insists he’s being unfairly targeted, saying, “I’m a citizen of this country. If someone did something wrong somewhere and I end up buying a car not knowing where it came from, how does that make me a criminal?”
He further criticized EOCO for what he described as a “dramatic raid” on his property, revealing that heavily armed officers stormed his home without proper explanation.
“I’ve worked hard for everything I have. Nobody should try to mess up my image because of somebody else’s sins,” he added. The artist also hinted that he’s seeking legal advice on how to reclaim his car, stressing that he has all the necessary documents proving his purchase from the dealer.
EOCO has yet to release a follow-up statement in response to Shatta Wale’s claims, but sources close to the investigation say further scrutiny is being placed on high-end cars imported into Ghana in recent years.
