Shatta Wale ‘apologises’ to disabled society…Stonebwoy
The battle between two of Ghana’s top dancehall artistes, Shatta Wale and Stonebwoy seem not to be ending anytime soon following recent comments from the camp of the two musicians.
Shatta Wale descended heavily on Stonebwoy during his performance at the recently held ‘Sallahfest’ event at Nima and Abeka in Accra as part of the Eid ul Fitr celebrations.
Shatta who claimed to be disappointed with Stonebwoy for his absence did not mince words as he called his fellow artiste a cripple.
He went further to say that, Stonebwoy was an ‘Apakye Celebrity’ who deserved no mercy from the public as he disappointed his fans by not showing up for the event.
The disabled community (The Ghana society of the Physically Disabled) did not take kindly to the comment and demanded an apology for the derogatory statement.
But Shatta Wale’s camp in a statement issued under the auspices of the Shatta Movement Record and signed by Manager of the artiste, Samuel Atuobi Baah (Sammy Flex), said the comments were misrepresented.
“The intention of the statement was not to mock or belittle individuals with disabilities, but rather to emphasise the importance of Stonebwoy acting and treating others with respect at all times,” it said.
“We understand that the wording of the statement may have been insensitive and we acknowledge the concerns raised. It is not our intention to cause any harm. We value and respect the contributions and rights of individuals with disabilities in our society,” it added.
It says they were committed to inclusiveness and would be mindful of their words and actions in future.
However, Stonebwoy in a counter statement said, they found it not just irresponsible but misleading and mendacious.
According to the statement, Mr Sammy Flex’s comment that Stonebwoy should act right and treat others with respect at all times, was an absent-minded one.
“A predominant factor in the career of Stonebwoy is his humility and respect shown to all manner of persons,” it stated.
“You have an artiste like Shatta Wale whose career lives and breathes on the tradition of insults, disdain, discredit and disrespect for his colleagues with the little opportunity he chances upon makes the entire statement appear ironic and sarcastic,” it added.
The Ghana Society of the Physically Disabled are however yet to respond to any of the statements but it appears the rivalry between the two artistes is taking another twist.
Kwame Nsiah Apau, widely known as Okyeame Kwame, and the Rap Dacta, celebrated his 50th birthday with the release of a rhythmic reggae tune titled “Clap.”
The song shines a spotlight on applauding those making remarkable contributions to society and encourages people to celebrate the successes of their friends and family.
Just a week after its release, “Clap” has garnered widespread positive reactions from influencers across Ghana, Jamaica, America, South Africa, and other parts of the world.
In one of the reaction videos shared by Okyeame Kwame, renowned entrepreneur and philanthropist Richard Nii Armah Quaye, aka RNAQ, expressed his admiration, saying, “Love this song and the lyrics. I want to support its promotion with GHC 100,000. Well done.”
Okyeame Kwame, who had previously promised to build a Paediatric Emergency Ward at Manhyia Hospital in Kumasi before his birthday, would certainly benefit from this generous support for such a meaningful project.
His 50th birthday celebration was a successful all-white event held at +233 Pub and Grill, featuring amazing performances that added to the memorable occasion.
