Ghanaian actress, Lydia Forson has dragged herself into trouble with Netizens by failing to publicly condemn the ‘rape’ comment by Shatta Wale.
Shatta Wale is believed to have admitted to raping someone when he shared a tweet that says “because he is a rapist, he is jealous I did the same to his girl. Cuz that’s his job. Raping jealousy @burnaboy”.
The Tweet has so far been condemned publicly by many on social media and whilst tweeps expect the Ghanaian actress to do the same as she does to others, she shared a tweet to say that she spoke to Shatta Wale on phone about it.
“Just got of the phone with @shattawalegh -we spoke at length about his tweets, especially on rape. It’s been a long conversation. Whiles we’re not entirely on the same page(hopefully we will be eventually)it was important to me that I spoke to him about this; he listened“.
She continued that “I was very deliberate about my tweet because and didn’t want to say too much because I understand how easily people run with things here. The rape tweets from both sides triggered me( I’ve stated as much) It’s wasn’t enough to just tweet it- I needed a conversation“.
Justifying her reason for not blocking or calling out Shatta Wale, she added that “last on this-those tweets were problematic, triggering to say the least. I tweeted as much. (for those who care to go through) But if you have access to anyone, you believe has disturbing views, you go beyond registering your displeasure online- you say it to them too!“.

Here is what social media users had to say about the Shatta’s rape comment;
Shatta Wale admitted he's a rapist and made a joke about it. Go and read Lydia Forson's tweets, someone who swore to block rapists is now having conversations at length with one. Hypocrite with no Standards. She has now proven to cover up for her friends when the rape people.
