Sarkodie and Shatta Wale's Everlasting Song Sparks Stonebwoy Shade Claims

• Sarkodie and Shatta Wale released "Everlasting" on June 11, 2026, weeks after Stonebwoy's viral "convenient friendship" tweet allegedly shaded the duo
• Fans believed the title was a deliberate dig at Stonebwoy, whose own song "Everlasting" featured on his 2020 Anloga Junction album
• Both Sarkodie and Shatta Wale addressed the controversy in separate interviews, but the debate raged on

Some fans believe Sarkodie and Shatta Wale shaded Stonebwoy through the title of their new song "Everlasting," released on June 11, 2026, weeks after Stonebwoy allegedly questioned their friendship on social media.

The pair, who have collaborated on hit songs including Megye Wo Girl and Dancehall King, released the project at midnight following an announcement teaser the day before. The teaser was shared under the hashtag #ShattaSark and gave fans a glimpse of what was to come.

While the song has been praised for Sarkodie's sharp bars and Shatta Wale's energetic delivery, others believe the title carries a deliberate message directed at Stonebwoy.

The debate follows the pair's reunion at Kweku Smoke's sold-out London Nights concert at Electric Brixton, which generated significant buzz across Ghana's music industry.

Shortly after the concert, Stonebwoy shared a series of posts on X referencing "convenient friendship" and "fake love."

In the posts, Stonebwoy indicated that two unnamed individuals had been faking their relationship based on interests and timing. He described it as a "convenient friendship" and added that even the devil hated such pretence.

Many social media users interpreted the posts as a direct reaction to the highly publicised link-up.

Sarkodie addressed the controversy in an interview, saying he could not conclude the tweet was aimed at him without hearing it directly from Stonebwoy.

However, despite Sarkodie playing down the tension, the release of the new song has only kept the debate alive.

That song was part of his critically acclaimed Anloga Junction album, released the same year, which featured other tracks, including "Nominate," a collaboration with American singer Keri Hilson.

While both songs carry different sonic elements and lyrics, the timing of the new release has deepened suspicions that the title was a calculated move.

The song arrived just weeks after the "convenient friendship" controversy, making it difficult for many observers to dismiss the connection as coincidental.
