This rivalry between Ghanaian dancehall giants Shatta Wale and Stonebwoy just got hotter as Shatta Wale challenges his long-time rival to a face-off at the Accra Sports Stadium.
This was after Stonebwoy, feeling slighted by being left out of a Grammy article on Ghanaian music legends, hit out at the organisation and declared himself the best dancehall artist in the country.
It only got worse when Stonebwoy took to a radio interview, proclaiming himself king of dancehall and using his 2019 Artist of the Year award as proof.
The Shatta Movement Spearheaded and African Dancehall King, Shatta Wale is not one to let anyone get away with such a jab, thus he did not take it lying down, considering the rivalry between the two musicians.

Not to mention the very recent incident in 2019, when Stonebwoy pulled a gun on stage at the Ghana Music Awards because of Shatta Wale’s entourage; the incident has not left the minds of their fans and themselves. Even after they called them to sign a peace bond.
In a fit of fury, Shatta Wale directly has challenged Stonebwoy and his fans to a face-off so that they debate over who is the “Dancehall King” in other to finally be put to rest.
Despite declaring himself as an afro-dancehall artist, Stonebwoy has contradicted his statement by proclaiming himself as the dancehall king during a radio appearance.
He declared that if Stonebwoy does not accept, then he should stop claiming to be a dancehall artist but instead come out as a reggae artist. He even gave an assurance that the competition would be healthy and was even inviting sponsors on board.
This challenge has set off a wild social media debate as fans are sharply divided on who would emerge victorious.
Many are of the view that Stonebwoy will not engage in a direct fight and therefore will use interviews to address the issue, but the bold move by Shatta Wale has simply added to their ongoing feud.
As the situation unfolds, all eyes are on Stonebwoy to see how he will respond to this high-stakes challenge.
