On Saturday, June 8, two of Ghana’s biggest musicians and arguably the biggest rivals in the music industry, Shatta Wale and Stonebwoy, were scheduled to perform at separate concerts at the University of Ghana.
Shatta Wale was advertised to perform at James Top Nelson Yankah Hall (TF Hostel), while Stonebwoy, the reigning TGMA Artiste of the Year, had a concert planned at Liman Hall.
Shatta’s Show Cancelled
On the evening of Friday, June 7, Shatta Wale began trending on Twitter amid rumors that his highly publicized concert at the TF Hostel had been canceled due to lack of approval from the office of the Dean of Students at the University. This news sparked a flood of outrage among Wale fans, who were disappointed that their idol would not perform.
False Hope
On Saturday morning and just hours before the scheduled start time, Shatta Wale continued to fuel his fans' excitement with posts on his various social media platforms, asserting he was ready to perform. Despite confirmations on social media and an official communique from the Dean of Students' office stating the show was canceled, Shatta appeared undeterred.
At 6:26 PM on Saturday, Shatta Wale posted on Facebook, “In the next 3 hrs I will be on stage @ #TF legon campus ..Dont miss this 🙌🔥🔥🔥”.
However, the anticipated performance never materialized, leaving fans disappointed as the promised three hours dragged on indefinitely.
An enraged Shatta Wale didn't miss the opportunity to vent his frustration and disappointment on Stonebwoy after being barred from performing due to "security reasons."
Accusations
Taking to social media, Shatta Wale launched a tirade against Stonebwoy, accusing him of orchestrating the cancellation of his show to avoid performing at the same venue.
In a heated TikTok video, Shatta Wale hurled insults at Stonebwoy, even involving his family in the feud. He alleged that Stonebwoy had used his influence to pressure university authorities into canceling the event.
