Shatta Wale Responds to Stonebwoy’s Birthday Message
Shatta Wale responded to Stonebwoy’s birthday wish in what many perceive as a continuation of their longstanding rivalry.
Stonebwoy’s message, posted on Twitter, acknowledged their past differences but expressed goodwill by wishing Shatta Wale a long life.“No matter the differences. I wish you a long life, brother! Big 40… (Blackstar age),” he wrote.
However, Shatta Wale’s reply was less than expected. He responded, “Which differences? Stop fooling and grow up. The fans don’t need this enmity… be safe.”
Shatta Wale’s swift response has surprised many fans who saw Stonebwoy’s message as a gesture of peace and unity.
The exchange has sparked online discussions, with some fans expressing disappointment at Shatta Wale’s reaction, while others defended him, suggesting the need for more genuine reconciliation between the two.
Despite their history of rivalry in Ghana’s music scene, fans have long hoped for a permanent resolution between the two dancehall icons, both of whom have made significant contributions to the genre.
Stonebwoy’s initial message had been praised as a step toward mending their relations, but Shatta Wale’s response has reignited his beef and debates about the nature of their relationship.
Some X platform followers have agreed with Shatta Wale after his response to Stonebwoy’s insistence that he should ‘cook’ the ‘Overlord’ hitmaker.
Others asked him to cease fire and avoid violence because it was his special day.
However, Stonebwoy wasn’t the only one who wished Shatta Wale on his birthday. Broadcast journalist, Serwaa Amihere, fans around the world, and Jamaican musician, Vybz Kartel, also celebrated the artist.
