During the BHIM Nation leader's acceptance speech, Shatta Wale and his cronies exited their seats and made their way to the stage.

The group's decision ignited a confrontation between the two camps and saw his rival Stonebwoy pull out a gun, which scared many of the attendees, including the SM boss, to rush out of the auditorium for their safety.

Following the conclusion, the two artistes were handed indefinite bans from the award scheme by the organisers, Charterhouse and the then Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMAs) board.

The two dancehall musicians were also made to sign a bond of good behaviour with the Ghana Police Service.

Shatta Wale and Stonebwoy were reinstated into the scheme in 2021, but the former declined and has since stopped submitting his music projects for nominations.

Shatta Wale speaks about 2019 VGMAs scuffle

In a conversation with Efia Odo, Ama Burland and Gisela Amponsah on the latest episode of the Rants, Bants and Confession podcast, Shatta Wale questioned why he received the blame for Stonebwoy's actions at the 2019 VGMAs.

The SM boss said that the BHIM Nation boss should have been arrested by the Ghana Police Service and sentenced to prison for pulling out a gun on him at the public event.

Shatta Wale, who recently released his SAFA album, noted that he would have served a jail term if he had pulled out the gun at the 2019 VGMAs instead of Stonebwoy.

The Killa Ji Mi hitmaker said he had no bad intentions when he decided to head to the stage. He only wanted to call out the organisers for wasting his time by inviting him and not giving him an award after Stonebwoy's speech.
