In an interview on Accra100.5FM, Akosua Agyepong said God will deal with any blogger who does that.
“God will deal with any blogger who sells other people’s videos online because there are a lot of things that they are doing. I don’t know where they get information from but I think Shatta Wale shouldn’t have responded to that video at all. Once his face was not shown, he shouldn’t have responded at all, because it could happen that it was not him. Someone posted [the video], but the way he spoke, it is like he’s accepting the fact that he’s the one who did that. I think that part, I was not happy with him, but honestly what shows it was him…? she said.
“As for bloggers, the way they do things, God will ask them: … ‘Has someone sent them to be bloggers?’ No one has sent them to be bloggers. If you need information, you can do a phone interview and ask me whatever it is and I’ll answer… but you don’t frame up something because you want information, some of them do bad things…”she added.
However, she advised bloggers to crosscheck their facts before publication of any story about anybody since they tarnish people’s hard-won reputation.
