<p>During a recent programme on Neat FM, presenter Abena Moet called for a ban on Shatta Wale’s songs on the airwaves after a fan<a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulse.com.gh/entertainment/celebrities/reggie-zippy-replies-critics-who-bash-him-over-new-lover/v612k54"> made a music request to her colleague Ola Michael. </a></p>

<p>The outspoken media personality explained that Shatta Wale’s songs did not deserve airplay due to his unsavoury comments about Despite Media owner Dr Osei Kwame Despite.</p>

<p>The SM Boss had previously insulted the prominent businessman following MzGee's infamous live interaction with Medikal in May, which centred on the rapper’s marital issues with Fella Makafui.</p>

<p>Shatta Wale took to his official X (formerly known as Twitter) page to respond to Neat FM’s treatment of him. The dancehall star stated that he was unfazed by the radio station’s decision, pointing out <a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulse.com.gh/lifestyle/events/lavish-display-as-osei-kwane-despite-celebrates-61st-birthday-videos/27pen7r">that he does not rely on airplay for financial gain.&nbsp;</a></p>

<p>Shatta Wale boasted that he earns significant income from the streams he accumulates on digital platforms such as YouTube and Apple Music.</p>
