The unexpected hug was initiated by President John Mahama, who was present at the fundraising ceremony on Friday, March 20, 2026.
In a video, Stonebwoy and Shatta Wale were spotted on stage with the MCs for the night, Berla Mundi and Nathaniel Attoh.
Berla Mundi was heard saying that the president had asked the two artists to hug.
"Mr President says that Stonebwoy and Shatta Wale should hug on stage at this moment. This is a request from Mr President, so you can look at him. I'm not the one asking for it," Berla Mundi said.

When she moved from the stage to sit down, a blogger commended Berla Mundi for the united moment she got the audience to enjoy. When asked why she made the request, Berla Mundi attributed it to the President.
"It is the President. He was smiling, he looked very happy when they shook hands, and I thought it was beautiful, so I said, 'Why not try to get them to do something more?' I noticed the President was really excited about it."
"Then he started signalling to me that they should hug. So, I said: 'Mr President says hug, let's do it.' I thought it was very beautiful, I loved it. I'm very happy that it happened, and I hope the unity will continue," she added.

"@berlamundi any3mi yoo. You people really don’t understand what’s going on oo. As for Shatta, he doesn’t have any beef with Efo, and he has said that countless times. It’s Efo800 who thinks that the beef is the only way he can have Shatta’s haters to support him because if there’s no beef between them, it’s his loss. He himself confirmed that some 3 or 4 years ago, that as for the beef, he won’t let it go because it’s healthy for him."
