On April 30, 2025, Shatta Wale issued a formal apology via a signed letter, retracting his claims and admitting they were “misunderstood or misconstrued”.
He clarified that he never meant to imply Bulldog was guilty, expressing regret for the “pain, agony, and shame” caused
Bulldog had sued Shatta Wale for defamation in 2022, seeking GH¢1 million in damages and a public retraction.
The case was settled out of court in 2023, with terms requiring Shatta Wale to:
-
-
Issue a public apology (finally delivered in 2025).
-
Pay GH¢100,000 in legal fees (still outstanding as of May 2025)
-
Bulldog revealed the accusations damaged his reputation and caused emotional distress for his family, especially since the murder case remains unsolved.
Background
Fennec was killed in March 2014 in Accra; no arrests were made despite initial suspicions linking Bulldog (who was briefly detained but released in 2017 due to lack of evidence).
The Ghana Police reopened investigations after Shatta Wale’s 2022 claims but made no progress
Bulldog emphasized his lawsuit was not for punishment but to clear his name. The apology ends a years-long legal and public dispute, though Bulldog awaits full settlement.
