In a video on X, Gray said he came for the ShattaFest with his girlfriend to come enjoy the songs of Shatta Wale and other Ghanaian artists who were scheduled to perform.
Gray said he lost his iPhone 16, cash of about G₵C8000 and his wallet which contained all his credit cards.
The unhappy white man said he was no longer enjoying the show after he lost such important items.
However, he was hopeful he’d retrieve the items since he has a tracker on his phone.

“The boys who stole from him better return the items. This is someone who is on an international assignment and on a diplomatic passport. They’ll track the thief down easily. This habit won’t help us. It only tarnishes our image.”
