The Ghanaian dancehall act later added that he is a person of the street and therefore, he can only support the Nigerian street on this agenda. "Shatta Wale came from the street and I will stand for the street and vulnerable. The ghetto youth also deserves better. Enough of the killings. We must embrace ourselves and support one another. The Police is supposed to protect life but not to take life #StopPoliceBrutality," he tweeted.
