Shatta Wale has responded to Stonebwoy’s frustration regarding his omission from a select list of artists featured on the Grammy website, which highlights the origins of Ghana’s rap music and the key figures who significantly contributed to its development, influencing various music genres across Africa.
In seizing the opportunity to reignite their ongoing rivalry, Wale remarked that Stonebwoy’s inflated ego had clouded his judgment, preventing him from fully understanding the article that notably excluded his name.
Despite netizens clarifying that the article focused solely on Hiplife artists, Stonebwoy remained resolute in his belief that he deserved to be included.
In a post on X on August 23, 2024, Shatta Wale urged Stonebwoy to reduce his ego and allow credit to be given to those due.
“How are you gonna demand a shoutout in a Hiplife article when you didn’t even get the memo back then? Somebody needs to deflate this ego a bit—let’s give credit where it’s actually due! @stonebwoy, we need less ‘big head’ and more facts!” Shatta Wale posted.
Stonebwoy faced criticism from fans for attempting to gain validation regarding a recent article published on the Grammy website.
The article recognizes influential artists such as Shatta Wale, Sarkodie, and Samini, as well as emerging talents like Black Sherif and King Paluta.
The article highlighted the origins of Hiplife and urban music in Ghana, showcasing its significant influence across various African nations.
Titled “10 Artists Essential To Ghanaian Hiplife: Reggie Rockstone, Sarkodie, Mzbel & More,” the Grammy article provided a historical overview of the artists who established the groundwork for Afrobeats and other music genres that have flourished in Ghana and impacted other countries in Africa.
