Shatta Wale opened up about the internet outage in Ghana

In an exclusive interview with Ghanaian journalist Kafui Dey on GTV Ghana‘s Breakfast Show, Shatta Wale said around 10 in the morning on Thursday, March 14, 2024, he tried using the internet on his smartphone, but nothing was working.

“I thought my phone was at fault. I thought maybe there was something wrong with my sim card. So I called my personal assistant and he told me the internet was not working,” Shatta Wale said.

The On God crooner further stated that moments later, telecom giant MTN sent him a message concerning the lack of internet in the country. Still confused, he said he called his friends, and they also confirmed the poor internet situation.

Sharing how the situation made him feel, Shatta Wale said he lost hope and it made him fall sick a bit. He said he did not have any theories; however, he was informed that undersea cables were cut, disrupting the internet connection in the country.

“Sometimes when the system is like that, and they bring the news, you have to embrace it like that,” he said.
