I will choose Shatta Wale over Stonebwoy – Samini shockingly reveals
Decorated dancehall musician, Samini has made a shocking statement over who he will choose between Stonebwoy and Shatta Wale.
Stonebwoy, as followers of Ghana music history know is a protégé of Samini, and for this, many have praised Samini for nurturing him.
On the other hand, Shatta Wale and Samini have been at each other’s throats for some time now.
Surprisingly Samini made his choice when asked to choose between Stonebwoy and Shatta Wale on The Day Show with Bella Mundi on TV3 recently.
Samini explained that he chose Shatta Wale over Stonebwoy because the former comes from his era and has more music laced with experience under his sleeves.
On the contrary, he said Stonebwoy is now coming up and has a lot to learn.
“You want me to make the headlines? I say Shatta Wale because he comes from my era and has more under his belt, Stonebwoy is still coming up, no disrespect,” he said.
