The Taking Over hitmaker had stormed the stage when Stonebwoy was making a remark after he won the Reggae Dancehall Artiste of the Year.

That situation has led to two of the awards – Artiste of the Year, and Most Popular Song – of the year, being held on to.
It has been speculated widely that Shatta Wale won in those two categories, however, because of the violence that broke out, he was not given the awards.
In fact, Shatta Wale had angrily left the venue of the event soon after the violence had taken place.
