Shatta Wale limping on stage must be condemned!

Shatta Wale limping on stage must be condemned!

In January 2016, dancehall artiste Stonebwoy had to walk off stage while performing at the launch of Accra-based Live FM. While performing his hit single, ‘Go Higher’, a guy from the crowd jumped onto the stage and started mimicking the way Stonebwoy walked.
That act, infuriated the Ashaiman-based artiste forcing him to abandon his performance and walk off stage.
In March that same year, he went to Germany for a surgery to fix a defect in his right leg. He limped slightly on the right leg after an accident some years ago. It was unclear if the unfortunate incident at the Live FM launch fuelled his decision to undergo the operation.
Many, particularly the disabled, for several years, saw Stonebwoy as an inspiration, a role model, who has risen through the tides and society’s near neglect of the disabled to become a national hero.
He became the first African reggae/dancehall artiste to win a Black Entertainment Television (BET) Awards in 2015. He hopes to make it a second win at this year’s awards.
If you live in Ghana, it’s not news that Stonebwoy and Shatta Wale don’t see eye-to-eye. They are currently nursing one of the longest running beefs in the country.
From shots in songs to comments made on social media, Shatta Wale and Stonebwoy are not the best of friends and it is possible they won’t be any time soon.
When the Ashaiman-based artiste was nominated for his second BET Award, many expected Shatta Wale to rise above their beef and congratulate his arch-rival.




It didn’t happen. Instead, he said on social media, “I dont want any fan of mine to feel bad about any BET…My skin is too strong now for such Nkwasias3m from this educated fools in our industry..”
Born Charles Nii Armah Mensah Jnr., the dancehall act added that, “My B.E.C.E certificate sef ano know where edeh..Then we deh come worry about BET…#Money deh call me for my brain….”
Stonebwoy, speaking in an interview with Doreen Andoh on Joy FM, said he did not need a congratulatory message from Shatta Wale.
Enough of the history, now to the substantive issue.
Recently, many wondered who Shatta Wale was referring to as “Sergeant Lee” in his smash hit song, ‘Taking Over’. Although he has not stated who he meant, many suggested he may have been referring to Stonebwoy.
Well, the controversial singer seems to have provided some clarity.
During his performance at the Vodafone VIM launch early this month at Trade Fair Centre, while delivering his lines, “Sergeant Lee Otashi otwa tea. Nɔɔ eba akɛɛ comfortable lead,” in the ‘Taking Over’ song, he limped with the patrons cheering him on.
That’s not the end of it. He repeated same at the 2017 edition of the Ghana Meets Naija concert at the Accra International Conference Centre (AICC).
