Stonebwoy’s Former Manager Spotted With Shatta Wale
Shatta Wale’s historic performance at Vybz Kartel’s Freedom Street Concert in Jamaica on December 31, 2024, stoked a frenzy on social media.
While fans drool over the Ghanaian musician’s moments on stage with the Jamaican dancehall legend, others have taken a particular interest in his entourage, which included Ghanaian music executive Blakk Cedi.
Blakk Cedi was Stonebwoy’s manager and agent since his unsung days until they parted ways in 2019. He was a strong force in Stonebwoy’s Bhimnation camp.
Many would recall his infamous brawl with Shatta Wale’s team during the gun-drawing incident at the 2019 VGMAs.
Blakk Cedi, who has been managing Kelvynboy after leaving Stonebwoy, was spotted in Jamaica with Shatta Wale before and during Vybz Kartel’s show.
The well-seasoned music executive was seen hanging out with Shatta Wale and his Jamaican manager.
In another video, Blakk Cedi was spotted prepping Shatta Wale moments before the ‘On God’ hitmaker mounted the stage to meet Vybz Kartel and perform at the Freedom Street concert crowd at the 35k-capacity National Stadium in Kingston.
Blakk Cedi and Shatta Wale’s moments in Jamaica have garnered significant traction on social media, especially considering the fierce rivalry between the Shatta Movement boss and Stonebwoy.
It’s unclear what Stonebwoy’s former manager’s role is as part of Shatta Wale’s team and what the future holds for the two of them together.
