Ghanaian Dancehall star Shatta Wale has taken a swipe at Ghanaian digital influencer Kalyjay, accusing him of pushing a “politically motivated agenda” with his recent calls for protests against illegal mining (Galamsey) and the release of Democracy Hub protesters.

Kalyjay, known for his active online presence, has been at the forefront of the protest movement, advocating for environmental justice and political reform. However, his efforts have drawn criticism from Shatta Wale, who believes Kalyjay is being used for political purposes.

In response to Shatta Wale’s accusations, Kalyjay defended his stance, stating that his commitment to clean water and environmental protection is genuine, regardless of any potential political affiliations. The influencer argued that even if he were being paid to raise the issue of Galamsey, it would not change his belief in the importance of addressing the problem.

Shatta Wale, however, remained unconvinced, insisting that Kalyjay’s actions are driven by political motives rather than a genuine desire for change. The dancehall artist urged Kalyjay to take his activism to the streets rather than relying on social media, challenging him to lead by example.

The exchange between Shatta Wale and Kalyjay has sparked a heated debate on social media, with some supporting Kalyjay’s efforts and others siding with Shatta Wale’s criticisms. As the controversy continues to unfold, it remains to be seen whether Kalyjay will heed Shatta Wale’s call to take his activism offline.
