The announcement that Shatta Wale would perform alongside one of Jamaica’s top international stars, Vybz Kartel, thrilled fans, who saw it as a huge milestone in Shatta’s music career.

Supporters celebrated the news, hailing it as a major breakthrough for the Ghanaian dancehall scene.

Some fans of Shatta Wale used the opportunity to take jabs at Stonebwoy, suggesting that Shatta’s inclusion in such a high-profile concert proves he is now the preferred choice for international opportunities.

They highlighted Shatta’s recent achievements, like his feature on Beyoncé's project, as evidence of his growing global recognition.

However, Stonebwoy, often referred to as the “face of reggae and dancehall” in Ghana, has spoken out to set the record straight. In an interview with Ike De Unpredictable on Angel FM, he defended his own accomplishments, emphasizing his long-standing contributions to the genre.

Stonebwoy reminded fans of his history of collaborating with top Jamaican artistes and even facilitating their performances in Ghana. He specifically mentioned bringing dancehall star Spice to the country, underscoring his efforts to bridge the gap between Ghanaian and Jamaican music.

“Can he fly someone home? What he is now going to do in Jamaica, I’ve done it several times. It was in 2018 that I performed at Reggae Sumfest in Jamaica. Reggae Sumfest is the biggest reggae festival, alongside Rebel Salute. Go and check and see. Our big brother Samini even went to perform at the Champions in Action festival. I don’t know how many of you remember this," Stonebwoy fumed.

He added, “Just recently, I brought a whole dancehall queen, Spice, to Ghana.”

The host then pointed out, “People say you’ve been bringing Jamaican acts to Ghana, but in Shatta Wale’s case, he has been prestigiously flown to Jamaica for this show. Have you heard?”

Stonebwoy, visibly irritated, responded, “Is it Jamaica that I haven’t been to before? I’ve gone past that stage. Now, I’m the one bringing them home. Check and see which one is more expensive.”

10

Stonebwoy went on to downplay Shatta Wale’s role in the upcoming Vybz Kartel concert, claiming that Shatta Wale’s involvement is just minimal. He described Shatta as a "curtain raiser" for the event.

11

“This is just his second time going to Jamaica, and even at that, he’s just going to raise the curtains at Vybz Kartel’s show,” Stonebwoy said.

12

The host, clearly taken aback, asked, “Did you say he’s going to raise the curtains?”

13

Stonebwoy replied, “Ghanaians hate the truth so much. I have so much to say.”

Stonebwoy’s recent statements about Shatta Wale have seemingly revived their long-standing rivalry and fueled intense online debates between their fans.
