Dancehall artiste Shatta Wale has revealed that, contrary to popular belief, he maintains a cordial relationship with his colleague, Stonebwoy.
According to him, they happen to be neighbours who live about five minutes’ drive from each other.
He addressed the narrative that there is constant tension between them, which he believes has been largely shaped by the media.
He noted that the public perception of rivalry between artists like himself, Stonebwoy, and even Samini is often exaggerated and does not reflect the reality behind the scenes.
Shatta Wale added that even Stonebwoy is not pleased with how the media fuels fan rivalries and spreads conflict.
While he appreciates that such portrayals may be part of the showbiz space, he stressed that it’s important for fans to know the difference between hype and reality.
“When I see people worried about peace among us, I know the media has planted that idea in their minds. Even Stonebwoy himself doesn’t like that. But I understand — it’s part of the game, and sometimes, we just play along,” he added.
Shatta Wale’s comments come as a call for unity among artists and fans, as he advocated for a more positive representation of relationships within the music industry.
