A video of Shatta Wale seen trying to talk the officer out of arresting him has been widely circulated on social media.
The adamancy of the law enforcer, caused the musician to rudely yell at him amidst rants of ‘Don’t you know me?’
However, on Monday, 5 March 2018, the award-winning musician said sorry to the police officer via video on Facebook, adding that he has a personal relationship with the entire police force for his action.
“I’ll like to apologise to the police, the entire corporate police body. Ghana Police has been so nice to me. I don’t want anybody to tarnish my image within that fold. Not only Ghana Police but the whole governmental body has been really nice to me. I don’t really want things to go down like the way people are portraying things,” he said.
He continued: “This policeman we are talking about is my uncle, that’s how I call him. He has also helped me in life before. Yes, I will apologise for the conduct, for raising my voice and the way I spoke…”
The Kakai hitmaker explained that he was not resisting arrest as some are reporting on social media, adding that no one is bigger than the police.
“People said police stopped me and I was resisting arrest. No, when the policeman stops you, you can’t say you won’t stop; you are not higher than the policeman because you are a civilian. He has the highest power and the highest authority, so, people should stop portraying that because Shatta Wale, ‘I’m not like that’”. “I want to apologise to IGP, Regional commander and all his team,” he reiterated.
Narrating what happened, Shatta Wale said: “My car wasn’t stopped, it was my G Wagon that was stopped and I went down to talk to the police because they are human beings like us.”
He advised Ghanaians not to “give police attitude,” when they meet them at checkpoints. “The police are my friends because I get protected a lot when I do my stadium shows. They stand for me from night to morning and I love that.”

This fuckking boy called shatta is just nauseating...he is a rowdy fööl who doesn't learn...he has refused to grow up....this fööl will soon see his end...occult boy signing on to an occultic record label(zylofon)
Maasa if we’re going to live on this planet with he who has no sin should throw the 1st stone then we’ll be a bunch of lawless people as none will have the platform to bring about a correction. Robbers would ask same, corrupt people will follow suit and on and on we go. If you love the gentleman should I even classify him as such since he behaved diametrically opposite that title you would need to drop some counsel to direct his path. Sin as you put it for his deed is becoming way too many on the path he treads. Lets not honour lawlessness no matter who indulges in it. The advanced nations are where they are because none is a law to him/herself. If we seek to progress in life lets stick to some of these values. I rest my case my friend the creator of himself odeneho
That's it. End of it. Case closed. To err is human. Wale has realised that his conduct was very unbecoming and has apologised. No need crucifying him. If the police proceeds to prosecute him so be it. The loud noises and empty clamour for his dissection will amount to nought. As the good book says "let he who is without sin, cast the first stone" Ayooooooo!
waa listen to yourself, so so nonfa nkoa wey u dey talk? who portrays who? Were u not the one shouting at the officer? was it not shatta wale? so why are u now blaming it on people . . . masa stop that phuuuling and be wise. With Zylofon media on your side my brother you are going down and loose ur credibility. Signing for that juju guy is the biggest mistake you have ever done .. . watch and see . . . it saddens me but that is the truth
Kw@si@Kwa, you think you are above the law right. its only in Ghana where we will put up with this sort of thing.
GH ye te asem ho ooo! What gives him the audacity to ask don’t you know me? No one is portraying anything, you have portrayed yourself to us indicating how we should perceive you. why the apology? We must reflect before we act. One mistake may be okay but we needn’t be repetitive in faulting. There’s a Latin proverb “Festina Lente” which translates HASTEN SLOWLY. For we are here today gone tomorrow. When lie down breathless and lifeless “do you know who I am” counts NOTHING.
