It appears the rivalry over who holds the title of Dancehall King in Ghana remains unsettled, as neither Shatta Wale nor Stonebwoy appears ready to concede.

For more than a decade, the two artistes have been directly or indirectly contesting ownership of the title.

During a live TikTok session sighted by GhanaWeb on August 25, 2026, Shatta Wale was asked by a fan who truly deserves the title.

The fan argued that Stonebwoy has more reggae/dancehall awards to his credit, both in Ghana and across Africa, and questioned how Shatta Wale could still claim the crown.

‘Stonebwoy is not my rival; we live just two minutes apart’ - Shatta Wale

“I want to know, what makes you the Dancehall King over Stonebwoy? I am asking this because when it comes to Ghana, Stonebwoy has about 10 reggae/dancehall awards to his credit. He also has about three or four in Africa,” the fan asked.

Shatta Wale noted, “That’s a good question, but you know we have the Asantehene and the Ga Mantse. So, you can make anyone your king, considering where you come from.

“This isn’t an argument, and I didn’t come here to explain to anyone the number of awards I have won.”
