Award-winning Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie has finally responded to the social media frenzy sparked by a cryptic post from fellow musician Stonebwoy, which many fans believe was directed at him and Shatta Wale.
The controversy began after Stonebwoy posted on X: “These 2 guys have been faking to each other based on interests and timing. Convenient friendship. Even the devil hates that.”
The post quickly gained traction online, attracting thousands of reactions, comments and reposts. Many social media users speculated that the message was aimed at Sarkodie and Shatta Wale following their recent reunion during Shatta Wale’s concert in the United Kingdom.
The two artists, whose relationship has experienced several ups and downs over the years, surprised fans when they publicly shared a moment on stage, reigniting discussions about a possible reconciliation and renewed friendship.
However, the celebratory mood was short-lived as Stonebwoy’s post shifted attention away from the reunion and fueled fresh debate within Ghana’s entertainment industry.
Speaking on the matter, Sarkodie said he is unwilling to assume the tweet was directed at him and Shatta Wale unless Stonebwoy personally confirms it.
“Because of the energy around it, I would like to hear it come from him and say that it’s you and Shatta Wale I’m talking about,” Sarkodie stated.
He noted that social media users often rush to conclusions by attaching names to vague statements without knowing the full facts.
According to the rapper, he has not spoken with Stonebwoy about the tweet and therefore cannot confidently interpret it as a subliminal attack.
“If he meets me or he texts me and says this is what I meant, then I will have a way to respond. But I haven’t had any conversation with him to really know exactly what he was talking about,” he explained.
While choosing not to dwell on the controversy, Sarkodie expressed concern over what he described as a recurring trend of negativity overshadowing positive developments in Ghana’s creative arts sector.
He lamented that a moment intended to promote unity and solidarity within the industry was quickly eclipsed by controversy.
“Over the years, whenever Ghana has a beautiful moment, something comes up and distracts everybody. Whether intentional or unintentional, it kills the beautiful thing that has happened. You may think it’s funny, but we need serious prayers. Every time something good happens, something else comes along and kills the momentum. We need to break that cycle,” he said.
As discussions continue online, neither Stonebwoy nor Shatta Wale has publicly clarified the tweet. Nevertheless, the post remains one of the most talked-about issues in Ghana’s entertainment scene, keeping fans and industry observers engaged.
