I Went To Shatta Wale’s Concert For Peace, Not To Steal His Shine – Stonebwoy
Bhim Nation Frontliner, Stonebwoy has revealed his rationale for going for Shatta Wale’s
‘Reign’ album launch concert which ended up with him being rejected from entering the event’s ground.
According to him, he was at the concert with the sole aim of fostering peace and unity in the music industry.
The dancehall act explained that contrary to perceptions that he went to the Fantasy Dome at
the Trade Fair Centre on Saturday night to steal Shatta Wale’s shine, his gesture was for peace.
“When he [Shatta Wale] came on the ‘Ashaiman to Da World’ platform, the news read that we’ve made peace. It’s a move that will definitely signify peace regardless so nobody would have gone there to make war.” Stonebwoy told Andy Dosty in an interview on Daybreak Hitz on Hitz FM.
Stonebowy and Samini have complained that they were denied access to Shatta’s concert shortly after the album launch.

According to Samini, they were there to support a brother who had always been
preaching ‘Support your own’. Unfortunately however, they were not given access
to enter the event’s ground.
Shatta Wale in a tweet apologized to the two for being denied access with the excuse
that he had no knowledge they would be there.
Meanwhile, Stonebwoy has called Shatta Wale a liar for claiming that he didn’t know he
and Samini had come to his ‘Reign’ album launch to perform.
Shatta Wale, in a tweet, apologized to rival artistes, Samini and Stonebwoy, for their inability to perform at his concert.
“Oh ! how, this is news to me .. sorry if this was da case … am very very sorry .. it wld hv bn nice !!! thnx for da support #TheReigAlbum.” Shatta tweeted.
Stonebwoy, speaking on Daybreak Hitz was quick to cut Shatta Wale some slack.
He said doesn’t believe Shatta Wale tweeted the apology “because he got the ‘Reign’ spelling wrong.”
According to the ‘My Name’ singer, if Shatta Wale’s response hadn’t gone that way, he
wouldn’t have responded because, according to Stonebwoy, Shatta Wale had
announced that some people were at the venue to perform.

“The point I want to prove is that we tried. We made a bold move. Let nobody ever think that it was a negative premeditation to get in there and steal the show but to just show Ghanaians that I have always been and I’m always ready to sacrifice [for peace],” he said.
“We have also allowed him [Shatta Wale] on our platforms,” Stonebwoy added.
It will be recalled that Shatta Wale made a surprise appearance at Samini’s Saminifest concert
at the Trade Fair Centre on Saturday, December 3, 2016.
He did same on Saturday, September 30, 2017, when he surprised Stonebwoy at his ‘Ashaiman
to Da World’ concert in Ashaiman.
