We are not illiterates – Members of Shatta Movement
Some staunch fans of Ghana’s biggest Dancehall artiste, Shatta Wale who call themselves Shanta Movement (SM) are worried they are seen as illiterates because they support Shatta Wale.
There seem to be the perception that every member of the Shatta Movement is a block headed school dropout because they are fanatics and the fact that they follow blindly whatever their King says and does without looking at it objectively.
Expressing this worry in a tweet, broadcast journalist, Gary AlSmith said “There is a certain image of @shattawalegh that, as a fan, hurts me very much. Apparently we are all low class, uncouth, illogical vagabonds. Many of us are actually decent, logical and thoughtful. Hopefully the image changes. I must admit this meme is funny tho. Lol”.
His colleague journalist, Evans Gyamera who is also a fan of Shatta Wale shared similar sentiments saying “My biggest problem in 2018 has being a @shattawalegh fan. People think I’m an illiterate, visionless, etc. The king has several issues which I admit but that does not mean he should not get die-hard fans. He’s a strong character amid whatever people think so try and get closer”.
Other fans who are also worried about the perception and the image they have been tagged with called on the King to ensure that they are given a good name.
Shatta Wale in replying mentioned that “Bro this is a silent reflection of society and how we as a people constantly undermine the strength of the masses ..I love my fans and won’t change them for nothing .. Every game has its own unique players ..I am Shatta Wale and Shatta Movement is For life”.
