Nana Asiamah Hanson popularly known as Bulldog has sued dancehall artiste Shatta Wale for alleging that he has a hand in the death of Fennec Okyere, an artiste manager who was murdered in 2014.
The defamation suit comes after Shatta Wale last week threatened to expose an alleged secret of Bulldog about his alleged involvement in Fennec Okyere’s death.
Shatta Wale had put out the allegation in a social media post on Wednesday, November 2, 2022.
Fennec died in 2014 in what is a murder case the police are yet to resolve.
It had been added to one of the cold cases of the Ghana Police Service until Shatta Wale’s comment revived it in the public domain last week.

Bulldog is therefore seeking a court order for Shatta Wale to retract his “defamatory” statements and apologise without reservation for eight days.
He is also requesting special and punitive damages against his former artiste for the publication.
Background
In the last few weeks, Bulldog and Shatta Wale had publicly given a hint on their simmering sour relationship when Bulldog claimed that Black Sherif’s album, ‘The Villian I Never Was’ will do better that Shatta’s Gift of God album.
The two had engaged in war of words on social media but things got worse when Shatta Wale insinuated that Bulldog had a hand in the death of Kwaw Kese’s late manager.
The post attracted lots of attention on social media with hiplife artiste Kwaw Kese making a passionate appeal to the police to get, Shatta Wale and Bulldog to assist in investigations of the murder of his former manager.
The police later in a statement indicated that they had contacted Shatta Wale over his social media comment.
