Dancehall musician Stonebwoy threw shots at his rival Shatta Wale over his upcoming music performance at a concert in Jamaica.

The SM boss was recently selected to be part of a star-studded list expected to mount the stage at Jamaican dancehall icon Vybz Kartel's Freedom Street concert on Tuesday, December 31, 2024, at the Jamaica National Stadium in Kingston.

Following Shatta Wale's selection for the high-profile concert, some of his fans launched a social media campaign to mock Stonebwoy for not being invited to the event despite his close relationships with notable Jamaican artistes and bringing some to Ghana for his events.

Stonebwoy shades Shatta Wale over Jamaica performance

In a recent interview on Angel FM in Kumasi, Stonebwoy said he, just like his former label boss Samini, had already performed at big concerts and shot countless music videos in Jamaica.

The dancehall musician noted that he had surpassed those achievements and is now focused on inviting prominent Jamaican artistes to various events in Ghana.

He said that Shatta Wale had travelled to Jamaica for the second time to 'raise the curtains' at Vybz Kartel's Freedom Street concert.

Stonebwoy noted that he did not understand why Shatta Wale's invitation to the concert would be compared to his achievements since his performance in Jamaica would only benefit his brand.

He urged fans to research his exploits in Jamaica before using social media to mock him or make unnecessary comparisons to Shatta Wale.

Stonebwoy alleged that he had information showing that the SM boss begged the organisers of Vybz Kartel's Freedom Street concert to allow him to appear at the event.

Yaw Boadu-Ayeboafoh on Stonebwoy's remarks

In a conversation with YEN.com.gh, entertainment analyst Yaw Boadu-Ayeboafoh shared his thoughts on Stonebwoy's controversial remarks about Shatta Wale's upcoming performance at Vybz Kartel's Freedom Street concert.

He said:

"Stonebwoy spoke out of place and to downgrade the performance, called Shatta Wale a curtain raiser. The comments were unfortunate and smacks of jealousy. With Shatta Wale going ahead to perform as a special guest, Stonebwoy’s comments now look dumb."
