DJ Slim opined that Shatta Wale should have visited Andy Dosty with some high-profile personalities to apologise privately.

The media personality said that the dancehall musician opted for a public reconciliation as a publicity ploy and that the apology was also not genuine.

He said:

"If it was really something that he meant, I think this should have been a backdoor issue. If not for publicity or clout, this should have been a backdoor issue. He should have gone to see Andy Dosty privately with some individuals he truly respects."
