In the wake of the devastating Accra floods on May 18, 2025, which left many residents, including popular YouTuber Kwadwo Sheldon, grappling with property damage, an unexpected exchange between Sheldon and dancehall artist Shatta Wale has ignited a fresh wave of controversy on social media.
Shatta Wale extended a message of sympathy to Sheldon, acknowledging the flooding of his estate. However, Sheldon dismissed the gesture, referencing past allegations about Shatta Wale’s relationship with his mother. Sheldon remarked:
“We dey here wey your old girl come dey chat say she no get place sleep but you dey want to help who? GTFOH!”
This retort alludes to a previous incident where Shatta Wale’s mother, Elsie, reportedly claimed that her son had neglected her, leaving her without a place to stay.
The online community quickly took sides. Some criticized Sheldon for his harsh response, suggesting that he should have accepted the gesture in good faith. Others supported his stance, pointing out the perceived hypocrisy in Shatta Wale’s actions.
One user commented:
“You’re more concerned about @shattawalegh than your flooded apartment… Join the BuzStopBoys and spend more time cleaning your clogged gutters, and your building may not flood next time.”
Another added:
“Meanwhile… Shatta Wale’s music gave you more money on YouTube than your entire career… Gratitude is a must.”
This incident adds another chapter to the ongoing feud between Kwadwo Sheldon and Shatta Wale, highlighting the complexities of public relationships and the scrutiny celebrities face in their interactions.
