Stop pushing the youth to the street - Shatta Wale tells KalyJay
Dancehall artist Shatta Wale has openly criticised Ghanaian digital influencer Kalyjay over his posts calling for a protest against illegal mining (Galamsey) and advocating for the release of Democracy Hub protesters.
Kalyjay, an award-winning influencer who has actively led the protest online, faced backlash from Shatta Wale, who accused him of pushing a politically motivated agenda.

Kalyjay addressed the claims on social media, suggesting that even if the NDC paid him to raise the issue of galamsey (which he denies), fighting for clean water would still be important. "
"Let me get something straight. So let's say NDC have paid me (even though they haven't paid me) to push a Galamsey agenda. Are you saying you won't fight for clean water for yourself because I've been paid?" Kalyjay wrote.
In response, Shatta Wale criticised Kalyjay for what he perceived as âpolitical tweetsâ and urged him to take action on the streets if he genuinely wanted to make a difference.
âPlease can you go and fight on the streets and letâs see and stop all this political tweets⦠I respect you waaa but stop pushing innocent youths here with this agenda. Twitter wonât solve Ghanaâs problems if you yourself donât go out on the streets and do what you have been typing as an example for us all to see⦠Please stop it. Politics is not entertainment. Thank you," Shatta Wale retorted.
An X (formerly Twitter) user then defended Kalyjay, stating, â@gyaigyimii has always put himself out there⦠if you wonât help in fighting for the betterment of the country⦠stay mute and let those who care do it.â However, this provoked Shatta Wale, who fired back at the comment. âGo with him on the streets and stop typing English here like a fool. Peopleâs parents and women are behind bars, and he is here... was he part? Foolish talk,â the dancehall artist replied.
A fan disagreeing with Shatta Waleâs argument criticised his stance: âWhat you start dey push today no dey make sense at all. Rydee boys no dey follow empty folks sake of celebrity bullsht oo. The country is hard, so if you're a celebrity and you would only be talking crap, we take to give you Go bed Onukpa.â
Blasting the fanâs comment, Shatta Wale hit back, âSee another fool talking about celebrity. There is none in Ghana, so please shut your stinking mouth. Do you think we get royalties as itâs supposed to be if I were a celebrity? You see, the reason why I said many of you are brainwashed. Even your own house is the problem Edeh der you no solve, and you want to solve Galamsey.â
