Renowned artiste manager, Lawrence Nana Asiamah Hanson, popularly known as Bullgod, has provided updates on his defamation suit against dancehall artiste, Shatta Wale.
In an interview with Nana Romeo on Accra FM on 19 February 2025, Bullgod revealed that after initiating legal proceedings against Shatta Wale for defamation, the musician approached with a few high-profile celebrities to apologise on his behalf and settle the matter out of court.
According to Bullgod, it was agreed that Shatta Wale pay legal fees and publicly apologise for the murder allegations made against him.
He stressed that despite a private apology from Shatta Wale, he is yet to issue a public apology and settle his legal fees as part of the settlement.
“I sued him for GH¢1 million for defamation of character. For me, it wasn’t even about the money; it was about setting things right. So, we reached a consent judgment where he was supposed to cover my legal fees and issue a public apology, but he hasn’t done that,” he stated.
Bullgod added: “Now, the case has returned to court for the judge to direct him to comply,” he stated.
Reflecting on the effect of the allegations on his career and mental well-being, Bullgod admitted that while he lost business opportunities, the experience has contributed to his growth.
“It haunted me for some years. It weighed on my mind, but I have since moved on. I see it as a sign from God. Sometimes, we don’t understand God’s ways… but I am certain that this situation has played a role in shaping where I am today. Some people may hesitate to work with me because of it, while others may see it differently. Either way, it’s a win-win for me, he added.
