Dancehall artist Shatta Wale has publicly responded to claims by Ghanaian entertainment critic Sally Mann, who recently alleged that industry insiders held private meetings to support Stonebwoy’s Grammy aspirations while sideli ning Shatt a Wale.
During an interview on Adom TV, Sally revealed that, over the past three years, she and other media and entertainment stakeholders met in secret with the shared goal of boosting Stonebwoy’s career, citing Shatta Wale’s perceived lack of respect for traditional media as a primary reason.
According to Sally, the group’s efforts were aimed at pushing Stonebwoy closer to Grammy recognition, with plans to avoid giving Shatta Wale the same platform.
“For the past three years, we’ve held caucus meetings to push your agenda because Shatta Wale doesn’t respect traditional media,” Sally stated, addressing Stonebwoy.
She also criticized Stonebwoy’s recent interactions with Shatta Wale, accusing him of going off-script by engaging with his rival.
The agenda is to sideline Shatta Wale and elevate you, but you’re making it difficult by responding to him,” she added, urging Stonebwoy to focus on his career instead of reacting to Shatta Wale’s comments.
Sally’s revelations sparked widespread reactions on social media, reigniting ongoing debates about industry bias and the role of media in shaping the music scene.
For years, Shatta Wale has voiced suspicions of an “industry gatekeeping” culture, claiming that some media influencers and stakeholders actively work to hinder his career by diverting key opportunities to other artists and, in some cases, imposing bans on his music.
Following Sally’s comments, Shatta Wale took to social media to address the claims, suggesting he feels vindicated by her statements.
In a tweet written in a mix of Pidgin and English, he shared, “Dem say dem do meeting to bring me down 000,” along with a video expressing his frustration with what he described as industry politics. Follow for more.
