Ghanaian musician Shatta Wale has launched a verbal attack on Stonebwoy in a trending video.

Shatta Wale did not agree and claimed that Stonebwoy was under pressure to be like them, so he dresses like Burna Boy and goes out of his way to attract attention. Shatta did not hold back in the video.
He asserted that Stonebwoy could not be compared to the likes of Burna Boy and Wizkid, who are major stars in the Nigerian music industry. Shatta Wale emphasized that Stonebwoy should not anticipate receiving the same treatment or recognition as these renowned Nigerian artistes.
The video continues with Shatta Wale stating that musicians such as Stonebwoy often find themselves in the role of opening acts when they participate in international shows. This comment implies that Stonebwoy and similar artists are relegated to secondary positions rather than being headlining performers. He added that Stonebwoy receives a measly $10k while Burna Boy and Co. are given $300k.
