Shatta Wale Is Africa’s Vybz Kartel, Bursting with Endless Lyrics – Arnold Asamoah Baidoo Praises Dancehall King

In a surprising turn of events, one of the biggest entertainment critics in Ghana, Arnold Asamoah Baidoo, a known former Shatta Wale critic, emerged to shower the dancehall icon with tons of accolades.

He said, during a recent discussion, that Shatta Wale was like Vybz Kartel in many ways, since he “never runs out of lyrics” and happened to be the only Dancehall artist in Africa to break through on the continental level.

Arnold has often led the charge in any ‘diss’ against the artist, once famously referring to him as an “inconsistently consistent” individual.

But his recent comments shocked many, especially Shatta Movement fans, as Arnold admitted although he had more times criticized Shatta Wale,  but what he has done  with the dancehall genre could not be disputed and how consistently he dishes out hits demands some respect.

While Stonebwoy may have more awards dancehall awards and accolades to his credit—with a BET win—Arnold told the public that those did not make him superior to Shatta Wale.

He explained that worldwide acceptance of Shatta Wale as the finest dancehall artist on the continent says it all about his influence and legacy in the music industry.

This is an improbable endorsement from a former critic, which says so much about Shatta Wale’s enduring influence and seals his status as a dominant force in African dancehall music.
