The Ghanaian dancehall star made the comments during an appearance on the Brunch podcast, where he alleged that certain former associates within his circle were responsible for planting the story.
According to Shatta Wale, those individuals deliberately circulated the claim to tarnish his image and poison his relationship with high-profile figures in the music industry.
How the Rumour Reached Burna Boy
Shatta Wale said Burna Boy was fed the story and had already distanced himself by the time the Ghanaian artist found out what was being said.
He described being given no opportunity to address or deny the allegation before communication between the two broke down entirely.
The dancehall star spoke warmly of what their relationship once looked like, describing it as a genuine brotherhood rather than a purely professional association.
He also claimed he provided practical support to Burna Boy and his family during a period when they were in Ghana, helping them find accommodation and extending the same care to Burna Boy's mother that he would to his own family.
Shatta Wale's Lesson From the Fallout
Reflecting on the experience, Shatta Wale said it reshaped how he approaches the people around him, pushing him to be more self-reliant and more selective about who he trusts.
He framed the episode as a costly lesson about the dangers of disloyalty within his inner circle.
The interview has since generated considerable discussion online, with fans divided over his account.
Some expressed sympathy, while others questioned why the issue continues to resurface years after the friendship collapsed.
Burna Boy has not issued any public response to Shatta Wale's latest remarks.
