“Asem mp3 nipa, nipa na 3p3 asem” – loosely translated as “trouble doesn’t find people, it’s rather people who often put themselves into trouble”
Matters tend to escalate when you’re famous as the media tends to have a field day with your plight.
Here are some famous Ghanaians who have been accused of serious crimes.
1. Alfred Agbesi Woyome – Fraud
Till date Woyome’s alleged case of swindling the state to the tune of ¢51.2 Million ($13 Million) judgement debt is still one of the hottest topic on most radio stations. Woyome has reportedly said he’s on track to repay back the money in a few months.

3. Bulldog – Murder
He was the prime suspect in Fennec Okyere’s murder, he was arrested and set free. Months later, his artiste, Shatta Wale made an interesting revelation which should have rekindled the case, but Bulldog is still walking as a free man.

4. Pope Skinny – Fraud
Pope Skinny flaunts money on social media which has opened him to many accusations of internet fraud. Nothing has been done about the accusation. Pope Skinny asserts this public suspicion through his songs; he once even had a song called “Mugu”, which praised internet fraud as a lucrative business. In other parts of the world, a mere call to the police about a suspicious behavior will get you a visit by the police but not in Ghana.
5. Criss Waddle – Fraud
Criss Waddle, just like Pope Skinny has been accused of internet fraud, whether true or not, his extravagant lifestyle on social media always sparks these accusations.

7. Shatta Wale – Slander
Shatta Wale has been troublesome since he bounced back into stardom. He has virtually disrespected everybody in the entertainment realm, which even got him a ban from the 2016 Ghana Music Awards. One of his utterances got him a lawsuit, another one of his misconduct also got him a writ to refund an amount he took to perform at a show. All these and more, he still apparently has no worries.
