Ghanaian dancehall artist Shatta Wale has sparked controversy after criticizing former Finance Minister Mohammed Amin Adams over his recent comments about the betting tax. Adams, who served under the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government, claimed that no betting tax was ever implemented by the party. This statement prompted a sharp response from Shatta Wale, who took to Facebook to sarcastically question the former minister’s choice of words.
In his post, Shatta Wale mocked Adams’ use of the word “we,” suggesting it might be a reference to “Wee,” a local slang for marijuana, and implying that only “wicked” people could have implemented such a tax. He accused the NPP government of introducing the betting tax, which he claimed had negatively affected Ghanaians. The musician further ridiculed Adams, questioning whether he was distancing himself from the NPP, under which he had previously served.
Shatta Wale’s post took a more serious turn when he demanded an apology from the former minister. He warned that if Adams failed to apologize, it could result in political consequences for the NPP in the upcoming elections. The artist emphasized that voters might turn their backs on the party if Adams did not retract his statement, using the phrase “Don’t make me bore” as a warning to the former minister.
The post quickly gained traction on social media, with many users engaging in discussions about the impact of the betting tax and the broader policies of the NPP government. Meanwhile, in the 2025 budget, Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson revealed that the new NDC administration would abolish the betting tax, a move that Adams has countered, asserting that the NPP never introduced the tax in the first place.
