Dancehall star criticized for lavish reception of TikToker Peller in Ghana
Ghanaian musician Shatta Wale has sparked online controversy after rolling out a red-carpet welcome for Nigerian TikTok influencer Peller upon his arrival in Ghana on April 10, 2025.
Videos showed Peller being received by Shatta Wale’s team at Kotoka International Airport and chauffeured in a black Escalade to one of the artist’s apartments. This follows Wale’s earlier promise to showcase Ghana’s luxury car culture after Peller’s girlfriend claimed Ghana lacked high-end vehicles.

The lavish treatment has drawn criticism from netizens who argue the TikToker doesn’t merit such attention. Many contend Nigerian A-listers wouldn’t reciprocate for Ghanaian influencers.
While some view it as harmless hospitality, others accuse Shatta Wale of giving undue publicity to a social media personality. The debate continues trending across Ghanaian social media platforms.
