Entertainment pundit and show host Sally Mann has revealed that she, along with other media figures in Ghana, had devised a plan to undermine the career of dancehall artist Shatta Wale.In an appearance on Adom TV on November 10, 2024, Sally explained that their main goal was to elevate Stonebwoy and support his path to winning a Grammy, deliberately sidelining Shatta Wale in the process.

She further claimed that their actions were driven by what she described as Shatta Wale’s lack of respect toward media personalities in the country.“We held caucus meetings to push Stonebwoy towards winning a Grammy. The agenda was clear: we are supporting you (Stonebwoy) because Shatta Wale doesn’t respect traditional media. But now, you (Stonebwoy) are deviating from the plan by responding to Shatta Wale.

How dare you respond to him?” she said.“The agenda was to take you to the Grammys, and as for him (Shatta Wale), his career is over. He is now a pensioner. Look at how well you’ve done over the past three years, even with your 5th Dimension album. But now you’re making things difficult for us. Don’t be a puppet for Shatta Wale,” she added.

If Skrewfaze jumps on a track, he can bring his fans into the mix too. You talk too much; PR work isn’t for everyone. Stop trying to do the job of a PR person. That's why you have someone in charge to handle that for you,” she advised.
