According to the source article, reggae musician and media personality Blakk Rasta has questioned the status of a GH₵100 million defamation lawsuit announced by dancehall artiste Shatta Wale, saying he has not received any official court summons more than a week after the case was publicised.


Speaking on his YouTube programme on January 26, 2026, Blakk Rasta said that despite widespread circulation of the alleged court documents on social media and in the press, no writ of summons has been formally served on him. He raised concerns about whether the legal action is being pursued through proper judicial channels or mainly online.


The lawsuit, reportedly filed on January 19, 2026, accuses Blakk Rasta of making false and damaging statements during a broadcast that Shatta Wale claims harmed his reputation. Shatta Wale has publicly stated that he intends to pursue the case aggressively, citing his financial capacity to engage legal representation.


Blakk Rasta criticised the delay in service, noting that Shatta Wale had previously claimed to have capable lawyers handling the matter. He questioned why, if the case was serious, the legal process had not progressed to formally notifying him.


According to the writ of summons, the broadcast at the centre of the dispute generated significant online engagement, attracting more than 150,000 views on Facebook and over 27,000 views on YouTube within 24 hours, alongside extensive public commentary.


The absence of formal service has sparked public discussion, with observers questioning whether the dispute will be resolved in court or continue playing out largely on social media.
