Shatta Wale and Bulldog
Artiste manager, Lawrence Nana Asiamah Hanson, widely known as Bulldog, has said his defamation lawsuit against dancehall artist Shatta Wale was a primary goal to restore his reputation, not to seek revenge.
In an appearance on UTV’s United Showbiz on Sartuday, Bulldog addressed the controversy stemming from Shatta Wale’s 2022 allegations implicating him in the 2014 murder of Fennec Okyere, the late manager of rapper Kwaw Kese.
“I went through a lot. My family went through a lot, especially my kids and my wife. They had to revisit what we already went through, and it was not easy.”
He further explained, “My intention was not to punish anyone but to clear my name. I don’t have any bad intentions toward Shatta Wale.”
Following the allegations, Bulldog filed a defamation suit against Shatta Wale, seeking GH¢1 million in damages. The case was eventually settled out of court, with terms including a public apology from Shatta Wale and the payment of Bulldog’s legal fees.
Bulldog revealed that while private and public apologies were extended, he hoped the legal fee settlement would be made.
