Ghanaian dancehall star Shatta Wale has sparked debate on social media after introducing a paid membership programme for supporters of the Shatta Movement.

The musician announced that the initiative is aimed at officially registering members of his fan base and creating a database containing their identities and information.

In a post shared on X on Tuesday, June 9, 2026, Shatta Wale revealed that fans would be required to pay GH₵100 to obtain a Gold Card membership. According to him, the card will grant members access to a variety of premium services and exclusive benefits across the world.

"We are ready to officialise our Shatta Movement members with real identity and data. Register now by clicking the link below. Get your Gold Card membership after registration with just GH₵100 to enjoy premium services around the world," he wrote.

The announcement, however, generated mixed reactions online, with many social media users questioning the decision to charge fans for membership.

Some critics argued that supporters should not be required to pay to be part of a fan movement, especially following Shatta Wale's recent claims that he earns as much as $1 million for certain performances. Others also expressed concerns about the value and purpose of the membership package.

Despite the criticism, the programme appears to be part of the artiste's efforts to build a more structured and organised fan community under the Shatta Movement brand.
