Dancehall artiste Shatta Wale has revealed he shares a cordial relationship with his colleague Stonebwoy, despite public belief.
He disclosed that they live just five minutes apart and often interact as neighbours. Speaking on the supposed tension between them, Shatta Wale blamed the media for shaping a false narrative of rivalry.
He said the public often misunderstands the bond between artists like himself, Stonebwoy, and Samini. “It will shock people to know that Stonebwoy, Samini, and the others are all on good terms. But the media only focuses on the negatives,” he said.
Shatta Wale added that Stonebwoy also dislikes how the media fuels fan rivalries and spreads conflict. While he acknowledges that hype plays a role in showbiz, he stressed the need for fans to separate reality from entertainment.
“When I see people worried about peace among us, I know the media planted that idea. Even Stonebwoy himself doesn’t like it. But I understand, it’s part of the game, and sometimes we just play along,” he said.
Shatta Wale called for unity among artists and fans and urged for a more positive portrayal of relationships in the music industry.
