Media personality, Nana Romeo, has criticised top artistes, Kwaw Kese and Shatta Wale, over their controversial remarks about Abu Trica during their performances at the recent Gomoa Easter Festival.
During his performance, Kwaw Kese suggested that unemployment forces many young people to “beat the system” to make money, implying that individuals like Abu Trica should not be faulted and that fraudulent activities could be an option.
Shatta Wale also made reference to his past encounter with the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO), claiming the agency was “lucky” not to have arrested him.
Reacting to the comments on his show on OkayFM, Nana Romeo condemned both artistes, warning that such statements could negatively affect Abu Trica’s ongoing legal situation.
“This message is for Kwaw Kese and Shatta Wale in a very amicable manner, no issues attached. I decided not to speak about it, but I have to. The words that came out of your mouths were foul. Your words imply that the youth can get into fraudulent activities to make money because there are no jobs in the country. Your words are rather going to cause more harm to Abu Trica than good. I love you, but this statement is below the belt,” he said.
Nana Romeo further criticised Shatta Wale for using his platform to insult people instead of offering guidance to the youth.
“Shatta Wale actually insulted people. Shatta, I have genuine love for you, but this is not right. You had the opportunity to advise them, but chose not to. If you have the chance to address people and you have nothing to say, please shut up. A lot of the things the two of you said are not sensible,” he added.
