Ghanaian rapper Okyeame Kwame has shared his thoughts on the long-standing feud between dancehall artistes Shatta Wale and Stonebwoy.

In an interview on Channel One TV, shared on social media on April 7, 2026, Okyeame Kwame noted that although the feud keeps the industry active and trending, it could have long-term negative effects.

According to him, artistes who are not directly involved in the feud are sometimes wrongly associated with it, which can affect their business deals.

“Kojo Antwi is my mentor, and I am mentoring artistes like Amerado, Kuami Eugene, and Kofi Kinaata. I think the feud is unnecessary. It keeps the industry alive and gives gossip platforms something to talk about. It keeps trends going and social media buzzing. But when artistes like me sit with CEOs, they sometimes assume I’m part of that conflict.

“The way sponsorship works also affects policy direction. For instance, if parliamentarians sit to discuss what can be done for the arts while we are busy fighting among ourselves, it doesn’t help,” he said.

Okyeame Kwame further explained how he has managed to remain consistent and successful in the industry for nearly three decades.

“It is not good for the industry; it’s not healthy. I can say that I’m still able to do business after 28 years in my career because people trust that when they work with me, I won’t engage in unnecessary conflicts, even if agreements don’t go as planned.

“You see, conflict is part of human nature. We all deal with intrapersonal conflicts, but when we interact with others, it can turn into interpersonal conflict,” he added.
