Shatta Wale addresses Daddy Lumba comparisons
Shatta Wale took to his X (formerly Twitter) page to express his frustration with the controversial online chatter about him and the highlife legend.
The SM Boss called the comparisons between himself and Daddy Lumba disrespectful to the legend, calling these 'unnecessary and invalid'.
Shatta Wale urged fans to stop, as he could not be mentioned in the same conversation as the highlife legend, who paved the way for him and his colleagues in the Ghanaian music industry.
"It is very disrespectful to compare me to the legend Daddy Lumba. Everyone should stop that because the man in question paved way for you favs and me myself."
The Killa Ji Mi hitmaker also accused his detractors of launching a social media campaign to smear his public image and create problems between him and the music industry's old legends.
"This is what my opps do to just tarnish my image in public … They want to compare me and Lumba so that the oldies will hate me and say I don’t respect …Thank you Mr Hater 💪🩸."
