The unexpected reconciliation occurred on Saturday, October 19, 2024, at the 60th birthday celebration for Communications Minister Ursula Owusu.

In his opinion, the supposed 'beef' between the two was not beneficial to them, and it was about time they let it go.
"I think it is a step in the right direction. Sometimes, there is too much chaos surrounding Shatta Wale and his relationship with other industry players. He needs to forgo that side of him and concentrate on the music," he said.
