The post made it clear that Stonebwoy was then hailing Shatta Wale as his music father, however, today, they seem to be music enemies.

His post brings to mind complaints by Shatta Wale that Stonebwoy had come to him when he was not yet a musician asking him Shatta Wale to help him.

Shatta Wale revealed in interviews monitored by YEN.com.gh that he had helped Stonebwoy when he “ran” to him as an underground musician.

He lamented that now that Stonebwoy has become popular, he was disregarding him and giving recognition to those who did not deserve it.

Stonebwoy, now claims to be lyrically and musically better than Shatta Wale, and also claiming superiority over the self-proclaiming dancehall king.

They fought at the 2019 VGMA when Stonebwoy pulled out a gun to attack Shatta Wale when he stormed the stage uninvited at a time Stonebwoy was speaking.

The two are currently going to court over the incident, and have been fined GHC50,000 each and granted bail.
