Ghanaian reggae and dancehall superstar Shatta Wale has warned fellow musician Black Sherif against showing any form of disrespect.
On Monday, November 4, 2024, Shatta Wale took to X (formerly known as Twitter) during a Spaces dialogue to express frustration over Black Sherif’s recent Snapchat post. The post showed a photo of Shatta Wale with a comment about his dressing style, which Shatta Wale felt was intended to mock him.
Addressing Black Sherif directly, Shatta Wale reminded him that as a newcomer in Ghana’s music industry, he should be cautious about engaging in public criticism of veteran artists. He warned that any perceived disrespect would not be tolerated and implied that he had the power to “end careers” if challenged. “Blacko, this is the same thing Sarkodie did; now people think he’s my enemy,” Shatta stated. “I can end careers, and if you don’t take time, I will end yours.”
Shatta Wale’s comments drew varied responses from fans and social media users. While some supported his stance, others questioned his approach, arguing that constructive criticism could have been more appropriate. Black Sherif, known for hit songs like “Kweku the Traveller,” has not publicly responded to Shatta Wale’s statements.
This latest development has added fuel to ongoing discussions about respect, rivalry, and camaraderie within Ghana’s music industry, highlighting the tension that can arise between emerging artists and established stars.
