The Ghana Society of the Physically Disabled (GSPD) has issued a stern warning to musician Shatta Wale following his derogatory remarks towards colleague artist Stonebwoy regarding his disability.

Shatta Wale unleashed a barrage of insults towards Stonebwoy, speculating that his absence was a deliberate snub aimed at him. In the midst of his verbal assault, Shatta Wale resorted to mocking Stonebwoy’s disability, sparking widespread condemnation across social media platforms.

The society concluded by urging Shatta Wale to reflect on his actions and demonstrate accountability by offering a sincere apology to Stonebwoy and the entire physically disabled community.
