‘I’ll slap you if you try smiling at me’ – Shatta Wale threatens Stonebwoy over stadium concert dates
The perennial tussle between Shatta Wale and Stonebwoy appears to be seeing another episode.
The former has strongly cautioned the Bhimnation boss to avoid crossing his path, emphasising potential harm.
“Don’t make me see you eye to eye. I don’t want to meet you anywhere in your life. If you see me pass because if you try to smile at me, I’ll slap you. I’ll break your leg,” he said on Tuesday, September 20.
Shatta Wale’s stern words towards Stonebwoy stem from a clash in concert schedules and venues.
Speaking in a live video on Facebook, Shatta Wale added that “when you brought out the gun, nobody warned and talked sense into your brain.”
“You are using your disability to seek empathy but I don’t see you like that, I see you are a hard guy,” he added.
Shatta Wale and Medikal had previously announced a 5-day festival, the ‘Freedom Wave Festival,’ set to take place from December 20th to 25th at the Accra Sports Stadium.
Days after this announcement, Stonebwoy unveiled his annual year-end concert scheduled for December 22nd at the same venue.
The conflicting concert dates have clearly agitated Shatta Wale, prompting him to voice his frustration via a live broadcast on Facebook.

In a landmark move to bridge the creative economies of Francophone and Anglophone Africa, the Republic of Congo has initiated a creative collaboration with Ghana.
The partnership was aimed at promoting Pan-African integration through film, culture, and shared storytelling.
Madam Claudia Yoka, a renowned filmmaker and Presidential Technical Advisor from the Republic of Congo led a delegation that included Ms. Monie Lek, a Congolese actress and Mr. Dymo Sow, a Francophone filmmaker for the event. 
The visit was facilitated and supported by the African Chamber of Content Producers (ACCP), which has been at the forefront of continental creative integration through initiatives such as the Africa Monologue Challenge and the Africa Image Ambassador Programme.
During her stay, Madam Yoka held high-level meetings with the Chief Executive Officer of the National Film Authority of Ghana, Madam Kafui Danku, as well as other key creative industry stakeholders, including veteran filmmaker Mr. Roger Quartey and award-winning filmmaker Madam Juliet Asante.
Madam Claudia Yoka revealed why the Republic of Congo turned its attention to Ghana, citing Ghana’s historic role in the development of Nigeria’s film industry as a key factor.
Ghanaian creatives, technicians, and institutions were instrumental in the early growth of Nollywood, and Congo now seeks to replicate that transformative impact.
“Ghana has proven that it knows how to build film industries. We have seen what Ghana did with Nigeria. Now we want Ghana to do the same with the Republic of Congo,” Madam Yoka said.
Madam Kafui Danku, CEO of the National Film Authority, expressed the readiness of the NFA and the Government of Ghana to facilitate any policy framework needed to ensure the success of the collaboration.
She noted that Ghana was committed to becoming a hub for continental creative partnerships and that the government would remove bureaucratic hurdles to enable seamless co-productions between Ghana and the Republic of Congo. -GNA
Ghanaian singer Enam showcases her command of traditional music and spiritual storytelling in ‘Modzi’, the latest visual installment from her ‘Afro Spiritual’ catalogue.
Before the official music video was released, Enam issued a short film that portrays her unwavering devotion to her sanctified faith, even as dark forces attempt to derail her destiny.
Shot by Marine World Studios and directed by Nani Sage, the film serves as a visual and sonic meditation on purpose, protection and spiritual alignment.
Rooted in African ancestral traditions, it captures a moment of transition, where preparation ends and calling begins.
It tells a story of walking a path believed to have been written long before.
The rising artiste draws heavily from the Yeweh shrine traditions of the Volta Region, a heritage that forms the backbone of her self-defined genre, ‘Afro Spiritual’.
The new ‘Modzi’ project, African sounds and dance‑ready rhythms, since its debut has been praised as one of the most thoughtfully curated releases in the country’s contemporary music landscape.
In the newly released Modzi video, Enam is seen riding a canoe along the river while participating in symbolic traditional rites in the forest.
The music video highlights striking images of Anloga culture, heritage monuments and communal rituals, positioning it as a potential contender for video of the year.
The new single is available on major digital music platforms, and the video is available on YouTube.
