Blakk Cedi, the former manager of dancehall musician Stonebwoy, has lauded Shatta Wale following their recent trip to Jamaica.
The SM boss was among several high-profile dancehall musicians who mounted the stage and delivered thrilling performances during Vybz Kartel’s Freedom Street Concert at the Jamaica National Stadium on Tuesday, December 31, 2024.
Among Shatta Wale’s entourage at the high-profile concert was the music executive Blakk Cedi.
Blakk Cedi worked with his rival Stonebwoy in a managerial capacity before their public fallout in 2019, which led to his sacking.
In a viral video, Blakk Cedi was spotted prepping Shatta Wale moments before he mounted the stage to meet Vybz Kartel and perform his songs.
Following the conclusion of the Freedom Street concert in Jamaica, Blakk Cedi took to his official Instagram page to express his gratitude to Shatta Wale for their collaboration throughout the massive concert.
In a lengthy, heartfelt letter, the former manager said the SM boss handpicked him to serve as part of his contingent for Vybz Kartel’s star-studded musical event.
Blakk Cedi noted that he was inspired by Shatta Wale’s artistry and felt humbled by the unwavering respect, trust, and love he showed him on the trip to Jamaica. “The warmth you extended made every step seamless, and it reinforced why you are so deeply admired by many,” he added.
“Dear @shattawalenima 👑. I hope this message finds you well.
