The 2019 Lamborghini Urus is allegedly tied to the criminal enterprise of Ghanaian Nana Kwabena Amuah, who is serving a seven-year jail term in the US for fraud.

Wale denies knowledge or connection with the jailed Ghanaian, saying he is a "third-party owner" of the car. "I don't know who shipped [it] to the country," he said.

Shatta Wale is one of Ghana's best-known stars and collaborated with Beyoncé on the song Already which featured on her 2019 Lion King album.

Wale took to social media to criticise the authorities over the recovery of the bright yellow Lamborghini, questioning why officers stormed his home with guns.
