Ghanaian dancehall artiste Charles Nii Armah Mensah Jr., known as Shatta Wale, has denied any genuine rivalry between himself and fellow artist Stonebwoy.
Shatta Wale attributed such narratives to media sensationalism.
The self-styled “Dancehall King” revealed that he and Stonebwoy maintain a cordial relationship as neighbours, living merely five minutes apart, a fact that contradicts widespread perceptions of animosity.
He further clarified that his relationships with other colleagues, including Samini, are equally amicable despite industry portrayals.
“It will shock people to know that Stonebwoy, Samini, and the others are all on good terms, but the media only focuses on the negatives.”
Addressing the media’s role in perpetuating fan divisions, Shatta Wale acknowledged Stonebwoy’s shared frustration while recognising such narratives as an unavoidable aspect of the entertainment business.
“Stonebwoy is my neighbour. When I see people worried about peace among us, I know the media has planted that idea in their minds. Even Stonebwoy himself doesn’t like that. But I understand – it’s part of the game, and sometimes, we just play along.”
