Ghanaian dancehall artist Shatta Wale recently stirred up controversy by rejecting fellow musician Stonebwoy’s birthday wish, sending a stern reply instead. The incident unfolded on social media, where Stonebwoy had publicly extended a 40th birthday greeting to Shatta Wale, hoping to ease the long-standing tension between the two stars. However, instead of the expected cordial response, Shatta Wale responded harshly, telling Stonebwoy to "stop fooling" in his reply.
This response shocked many fans and reignited the heated rivalry between the two dancehall icons, who have had a tumultuous relationship over the years. Although the pair have worked together in the past, their relationship has been marked by frequent public spats and clashes, both online and in person. Many hoped that with age and maturity, the tension between the two could be left behind, especially with a positive gesture like a birthday message.
Shatta Wale's dismissive reaction, however, suggested that he is not ready to let bygones be bygones. In his reply, he criticized Stonebwoy for being disingenuous, accusing him of creating unnecessary drama. Shatta Wale implied that the birthday wish was more about public relations than genuine goodwill, further fueling the conflict between them. He warned Stonebwoy to stop acting in ways he considered foolish and to keep their interactions authentic.
Fans were quick to react to the exchange, with many expressing disappointment that the two artists couldn't set aside their differences. Social media was flooded with comments, some criticizing Shatta Wale for being unnecessarily harsh, while others sided with him, saying that Stonebwoy’s message might not have been sincere. It’s not the first time that a public exchange between the two stars has caused such a stir, but this one hit particularly hard for fans who had hoped for a peaceful resolution between the two.
The incident has become a topic of discussion in the entertainment circles in Ghana, with many people debating whether Stonebwoy's birthday wish was a genuine olive branch or if it was simply a public gesture. For now, it seems that the longstanding rivalry between Shatta Wale and Stonebwoy is far from over, with Shatta Wale’s stern reply indicating that reconciliation might be a distant hope.
