Ghanaian dancehall musician Shatta Wale has spoken about his scuffle with Stonebwoy at the 2019 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMAs) event.

The two dancehall heavyweights and their followers were involved in an altercation at the event auditorium when Stonebwoy was called up the stage to receive his Reggae/Dancehall Artiste of the Year award on the night.

During the BHIM Nation leader's acceptance speech, Shatta Wale and his cronies exited their seats and made their way to the stage.

The group's decision ignited a confrontation between the two camps and saw his rival Stonebwoy pull out a gun, which scared many of the attendees, including the SM Boss, to rush out of the auditorium for their safety.

Following the conclusion, the two artistes were handed indefinite bans from the award scheme by the organisers, Charterhouse and the then Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMAs) board.

The two dancehall musicians were also made to sign a good behaviour bond with the Ghana Police Service.

Shatta Wale and Stonebwoy were reinstated into the scheme in 2021, but the former declined and has since stopped submitting his music projects for nominations.
