Shatta Wale has been trending since reports of a law suit brought against him by Charterhouse started circulating in the media.
The controversial musician and self-acclaimed Dancehall King, Charles Nii Armah Mensah Jnr. aka Shatta Wale descended heavily on Charterhouse a couple of weeks ago in a series of videos released online.

Musician and businessman, A Plus, is advising Shatta Wale, to do the “gentleman man thing” by apologizing to the plaintiffs. According to him, it is time Shatta Wale used more diplomatic avenues to address his grievances.
“…I think Shatta sometimes gets emotional. At this level of his career, whether he likes it or not, he has attained a certain status and must use more diplomacy and also be more logical than emotional. On the court case I think Shatta must do the “gentleman man thing” by apologizing,” he said, in a post on Facebook.
In his view,the plaintiffs are “seeking an apology more than the cash…. but If he thinks he has an Oscar Pistorius defense team to defend him why not? I wish him good luck”.
The law suit
The Plaintiffs are seeking “an unqualified apology and retraction of each of the four separate videos with the approval by the Plaintiffs prior to the recording and uploading” to his Facebook page and to remain on his page for one month within a week of the judgment.
Another relief sought by the Plaintiffs is for Shatta Wale to send the four videos in which he renders apologies to the Plaintiffs to “all media houses and online publications that have aired the defamatory videos complained of and ensure that same and/or published at his own expense” within a week of the judgment.
The Plaintiffs again seek the court for an “order of perpetual injunction restraining the Defendant, his agents, hirelings, manager(s), privies and assigns or any person through him and howsoever described from making and/or repeating the defamatory statements or similar statements in the nature of the ones complained in the video recordings.”
