Shatta Wale has taken to X (formerly Twitter) to mock fellow Ghanaian musician Stonebwoy after the latter complained about being excluded from a recent Grammy article.

The Recording Academy, the organisation behind the Grammy Awards, published an article highlighting key Ghanaian musicians and producers who have contributed to the hiplife genre. Stonebwoy's name was noticeably absent from the list, which did not sit well with the artiste.

On Friday, August 23, Stonebwoy expressed his frustration on X, criticising the article for not including him. He argued that the omission failed to capture the true state of the Ghanaian sound, given his significant presence in the music industry.

Shatta Wale, who was mentioned in the Grammy article, responded by trolling Stonebwoy. He shared photos of classic hiplife cassettes featuring his own hits, suggesting that his contributions to the genre were undeniable.

He also questioned Stonebwoy's claim to hiplife. Many Ghanaians also expressed confusion, pointing out that Stonebwoy was primarily known for afro-dancehall and reggae-dancehall rather than hiplife.

"I have seen people talk about some inconsistencies in the article. But I can understand why the public is mocking Stonebwoy. The article focuses on influences that have helped shape the genre. I don't think around the time he came, he has influenced it that much, whereas if you look at the likes of Samini and Shatta Wale, they came in when hiplife was big, and they fit in more in that era."
