Speaking on Joy Prime's PrimeTime, Fameye said the two once shared a close friendship, regularly talking and planning music together, but that the communication has since dried up completely.
"I need his verse badly, but he is upset with me," he said.
According to him, he may have unknowingly said something to offend the dancehall star, though he maintains he has done nothing wrong intentionally.
Despite the tension, Fameye, who recently cut his dreadlocks, was full of praise for Shatta Wale, calling him a good friend and a great collaborator.
"I like him so much as a person and colleague… it's nice working with him, and I like the vibe we used to have," he said.
Fameye expressed hope the rift can be resolved, saying he remains open to rebuilding the relationship and getting back into the studio together.

"Check your settings,you can’t dine with two kings who are beefing on the same table, you either choose a side, and it’s obvious you have chosen your side already."

Francis Chapman Grant Abban
"See him posing as if he is not happy getting the opportunity to meet Shatta. By 5am, he will be calling the host to remind him that he said he would take him to Shatta's house."
Nana Yaw Andy said:
"He didn't move with Stonebwoy; they had a collaboration, and they performed for each other's concerts, but that doesn't mean he chose Stone over Shatta. He idolises both. I know Fameye, this guy is real. He's in my top favourite Ghanaian artistes."
Richard Tovor said:
"It's because you’re close to Stonebwoy, forget him, I know you very well, you don’t need to explain yourself in this industry, everybody knows you respect, don’t talk too much so that you will lose your credibility. Shatta Wale is jealous, envy type, forget him.
