ACCRA — Ghanaian dancehall giants Shatta Wale and Stonebwoy are at loggerheads once again, proving that even a decade of history and public peace accords cannot permanently cool West Africa’s most explosive music rivalry.
What appeared to be a stable truce between two of Africa’s biggest reggae-dancehall icons was shattered after Shatta Wale’s candid appearance on Nigeria’s popular The Honest Bunch podcast.
The latest exchange has reignited debate among fans of both artists, with many taking sides online as the two musicians continue to dominate conversations across social media platforms.
Shatta Wale Claims Stonebwoy Changed After Fame
Speaking on the Honest Bunch Podcast, Shatta Wale reflected on his relationship with Stonebwoy, claiming he played a mentorship role during the early stages of the BHIM Nation president's career.
According to Shatta Wale, Stonebwoy used to visit him in his first rented room before rising to fame. However, he alleged that their relationship changed after Stonebwoy became successful, accusing him of intimidation and ingratitude.
During the interview, Shatta Wale said:
"Stonebwoy is my boy. But, he can't look me in the face, because my spirit is too big for him."
The statement quickly went viral, drawing mixed reactions from music fans. While some supported Shatta Wale's comments, many Stonebwoy supporters criticized them as unnecessary and provocative.
Stonebwoy Fires Back on X
Stonebwoy wasted little time responding.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), the award-winning musician shared photos from what appeared to be his most recent meeting with Shatta Wale. Accompanying the images was a caption suggesting that Shatta Wale's public comments contradicted his behavior during their last encounter.
Stonebwoy wrote:
"The last time you saw me, you hugged me like an obsessed woman. Aren't you tired of lying?"
He also used the opportunity to promote his sold-out London concert, a move many fans interpreted as a subtle reminder of his current international success.
Fans React as Rivalry Returns
The exchange has once again divided Ghana's music community, with supporters of both artists flooding social media with reactions, memes, old videos, and debates over who was telling the truth.
The renewed tension also revived memories of the pair's turbulent history, including their infamous confrontation at the 2019 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA), where an on-stage altercation disrupted the ceremony and led to sanctions against both artists.
Although there have been several attempts at reconciliation over the years, the relationship between the two musicians has remained strained, with occasional public exchanges reigniting their rivalry.
