The Dancehall artist used humorous exaggeration to highlight that it would take a very long time before Ghanaian artists receive the same recognition and popularity in Nigeria as Nigerian artists do in Ghana.

"Ego take you people roughly the year 5050," he wrote.

He emphasised that Ghanaians shouldn't be forced to listen to a particular artist.

"Your spirit of wanna be is very bad ..Is it by force for Ghanaians to listen to your fav. They like Wizkid."

"Shatta Wale is backing Nigerians as a sign of apology for what he did against Davido, Wizkid and Burna Boy. Dude had the chance to cruise with the big 3 but he messed it up. He would have been up up there by now. Shatta Wale is misinforming the public on this issue. The artistes are not saying DJs shouldn’t play Nigerian songs, they were appealing to DJs so they play more Ghanaian songs. Nigeria used strategies to be where they are, Ghana needs a strategy too. We can’t grudge with Nigeria, they are our senior in almost everything."

"Most Ghanaians thinks is all about speaking their language, they don't think outside the box."

"Nigeria has over 300m citizens living in Nigeria and over 400m living outside Nigeria . The whole Ghana population is 30m , Ghanaians should rest. It’s like Cyrus comparing itself with China."
