It’s just a curtain-raiser – Stonebwoy shades Shatta Wale’s Vybz Kartel concert spot

Stonebwoy has consolidated his longstanding rivalry with Shatta Wale, delivering a scathing critique of his fellow artist’s upcoming performance at the highly anticipated Freedom Street Concert in Jamaica.

Speaking during an interview on Angel FM with Ike De Unpredictable, the Bhim Nation leader dismissed the significance of Shatta Wale’s involvement, portraying it as a minor achievement.

“I’ve been to Jamaica several times for major concerts,” Stonebwoy asserted. “This isn’t groundbreaking—being a warm-up act doesn’t mean much in the grand scheme of things.”

The Freedom Street Concert, organized in honour of Vybz Kartel, features a star-studded lineup, including international icons like Busta Rhymes, Popcaan, Skillibeng, and Spice.

Shatta Wale, a self-proclaimed disciple of Vybz Kartel, stands out as the only Ghanaian artist invited to the prestigious event.

While many hail Shatta Wale’s inclusion as a win for Ghana’s music scene, Stonebwoy was quick to point out his own contributions to bridging Ghana and Jamaica through music.

“I’ve brought some of the biggest names from Jamaica to Ghana for collaborations and events,” he said. “That’s a testament to my influence and impact in the industry.”

“He’s going to be a curtain raiser for the show, nothing else,” Stonebwoy said bluntly much to the shock of Ike.

Meanwhile, Shatta Wale has yet to respond to Stonebwoy’s comments, leaving room for further debate on the matter.
