Ghanaian Dancehall artiste, Shatta Wale, has slammed entertainment journalists, bloggers and stakeholders in the industry for contributing to the country's miss in the 2019 CNN top 10 African music stars list.
According to Shatta Wale, stakeholders and gatekeepers in the industry who are supposed to be interested in pushing the Ghanaian music industry, only concern themselves with talking about people's private lives.
In a Facebook post, the 'Melissa' hitmaker also commended all the African acts who made it onto the list.

In an interview on Joy Prime and monitored by YEN.com.gh, the 'Nikki Samonas' singer said he did not see the need to continue beefing with Stonebwoy since he does not hate him (Stonebwoy).
