Stonebwoy is the latest celebrity to speak out over Shatta Wale’s arrest following his prank shooting that put him in jail.
When coming in the studios of 3FM for an on-air radio debate, the acclaimed dancehall musician made these comments, which were met with disapproval by Shatta Wale’s fans.
Shatta Wale, according to Stonebwoy, went too far with his prank, hence his jail was necessary to serve as a deterrent to those who would have done the same thing for the sake of trend.
He went on to say that the country is ruled by laws and that everyone, regardless of status, is expected to follow them.
Using his own words;
You catch a thief stealing something of yours. There are steps you have to take. And if you don’t take time, although you’ve caught a thief who is stealing something from you, you can get into trouble. So there are laws, and there are rules and regulations that apply to everything that we do. Assuming I pick a knife and I stab that thief or I kill him, I have committed a crime. Irrespective of the fact that he stole something from me.
“There are better ways to deal with situations. So that the ripple effect doesn’t go round and round. Your reaction to what happens matters the most. That is the example I can put right now. So that we are all careful to know that irrespective of whether we are right, we have to know that whatever we do as a result of that also has its own implications
I think when they have time, and they are ready, they would come and share a lot about their experiences. It can’t be right for somebody else to be sharing the lesson or not. But I think the best people to answer that would be the people who know or are the ones in that shoe to say the right things. For me, I can also continue to push my advocate and my movement, which also comes a long way to help conscientize people about what is going on.
Medikal was not left out of his criticism; he blasted him for brandishing a pistol on social media despite the fact that he is well aware of his influence and that many young people look up to him
