Ghanaian dancehall superstar Shatta Wale has reignited controversy surrounding his seized yellow Lamborghini Urus, claiming that investigations into the luxury vehicle have been concluded and its legitimacy established.
The outspoken musician, whose real name is Charles Nii Armah Mensah Jr., alleges that despite the supposed outcome of the investigation, certain Ghanaian officials are attempting to complicate the matter and prevent him from retrieving his prized vehicle.
According to Shatta Wale, the continued withholding of the Lamborghini raises serious concerns about how the case is being handled, particularly when he believes there is no longer any justification for keeping the car.
The musician’s latest claims have brought renewed attention to the controversy involving Ghana’s Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO), which seized the yellow 2019 Lamborghini Urus in 2025.

The seizure followed investigations involving the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Department of Justice, which had identified the vehicle as potentially connected to proceeds from a multimillion-dollar fraud scheme involving convicted Ghanaian Nana Kwabena Amuah.
Shatta Wale has consistently denied knowingly purchasing a vehicle connected to criminal activity, maintaining that he acquired it through a legitimate transaction.
However, his latest assertion that investigations have cleared the Lamborghini has not been independently verified through a newly released official statement from EOCO or American authorities.
In February 2026, Shatta Wale’s public relations manager, Sammy Flex, confirmed that the musician’s legal team had received court documents concerning a request for his consent to transfer the seized Lamborghini to the United States.
The development further intensified the legal dispute surrounding ownership and the eventual fate of the expensive vehicle.
Shatta Wale’s latest allegations could now place renewed pressure on the relevant authorities to clarify the current status of the investigation and explain the legal basis for retaining the Lamborghini.
The controversy has also raised broader questions about property rights, transparency and the treatment of individuals whose assets become subjects of international criminal investigations.
For now, Shatta Wale insists that his yellow Lamborghini is legitimate and should be returned, while an official confirmation of the alleged investigative clearance remains outstanding.
Whether the authorities will respond to his latest allegations or release the vehicle remains to be seen.
