Shatta Wale
Dancehall star, Shatta Wale, has urged his followers to stop shifting blame onto politicians and instead take charge of their own lives.
During a fiery TikTok Live session on September 20, 2025, the outspoken musician told fans that self-responsibility is the key to progress.
“You guys allow it. So don’t blame politicians for your losses and your lazy life. Politicians do not own your life. Own your own life. There are a whole lot of ways you can create something for yourself,” he said.
His comments revive the long-running debate sparked under the Akufo-Addo administration over whether citizens should demand that the government “fix the country” or focus on “fixing themselves.”
Shatta Wale, known for his blunt social commentary, stressed that waiting for leaders to change circumstances is a waste of time, insisting that individuals must find opportunities and create their own success.
