In a heated dialogue on X (formerly Twitter) Spaces on Monday, November 4, 2024, Award Winning Ghanaian Dancehall artist Shatta Wale issued a stern warning to fast-rising star Black Sherif. The conversation stemmed from a Snapchat post by Black Sherif featuring a photo of Shatta Wale accompanied by a comment on his dressing style, which sparked Shatta’s ire.
Shatta Wale, known for his bold personality and outspoken nature, made it clear that he would not tolerate disrespect from Black Sherif, an artist celebrated for his chart-topping songs like “Kilos Milos” and “Kweku The Traveller.” During the exchange, Shatta Wale urged Black Sherif to tread carefully and avoid making the same missteps he believes other artists have made in their relationships with him.
“Blacko, this is the same thing Sarkodie did; now people think he is my enemy. Go and ask; I can end careers, and if you don’t take care, I will end yours,” Shatta warned, drawing a parallel to past tensions he has had with other industry heavyweights.
Shatta Wale also emphasized that he has the influence to bring artists down if he feels disrespected, cautioning Black Sherif against careless remarks. He suggested that Black Sherif was too new to the industry to be making such comments without fully understanding the potential consequences. “Black Sherif, you are new in the music industry. If you’ve heard them say I have said something about you, you won’t go and watch the podcast to know the good things I said about you,” Shatta remarked, hinting that misunderstandings often arise when artists do not verify information directly.
The feud has drawn reactions from fans on social media, with some concerned about the impact this might have on Black Sherif’s career. Shatta Wale’s assertion echoes his reputation for defending his place in the industry and standing up against what he perceives as disrespect.
