Social media users have reacted to the recent controversy stirred up by Shatta Wale. Some seem unperturbed while others say the singer has joined the LGBTQ+ community.

Those in support of his actions cited instances where football players in foreign countries have been seen kissing each other as a sign of love.

Opposers have said Shatta Wale should not be seen kissing his fellow gender as that goes against the customs and traditions of Ghanaians.

Meanwhile, some users just expressed shock over the incident. Shatta Wale has also been sighted online kissing his girlfriend. The pair began their public display of affection recently.

Therefore, users suspect that the musician might be bisexual.

In a tweet amidst the concerns, Shatta Wale has claimed that kissing makes his fans happy.

In October last year, Shatta Wale declared his support for homosexuals and urged that they should be allowed to live freely despite a possible passage of the anti-gay bill into law.

The controversial singer added that he cannot discriminate against homosexuals because most of his fan base are gays and lesbians.

In an interview with Joy Entertainment‘s Noella Kharyne Yalley, Shatta said there should not be any attempt to sit on the freedoms and rights of LGBTQI+ activists.

His comments came at a time when the issue of LGTBQ+ rights in Ghana had heightened.

Parliament since last year has been discussing the Promotion of Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values 2021 Bill, also known as the anti-LGBTQI+ Bill which seeks to criminalise the actions of the LGBTQI+ community in Ghana.
