Stonebwoy over the weekend lost the Best New Act award at the MTV Africa Music Awards to Nigerian artiste Patoranking.
Hours after the award was given to the Nigerian act, Shatta Wale took to twitter to write that “some ghanaians are too popular in america not africa lol”.
These words by the “Dancehall Commando” hitmaker according to reports were directed at Stonebwoy who won BET Best International Act, Africa award but failed to win the MAMAs award.
Stonebwoy on Starr 103.5 FM after the MAMAs was held said that Shatta Wale has the right to write anything on his twitter page so he should be left alone.
“I’m an artist who concentrates on my arts and I do my best to keep going to entertain the people who appreciate me and appreciate my work.
“Shatta Wale has the right to his Twitter and to write whatever he wants to write.I haven’t seen that but if I had which you said is Some Ghanaian acts are more in America than Africa, It still makes sense. I don't get hurt from that because I believe it takes effort to move from one place to the other.
“I was so close at the MAMAs, I was there, I was nominated, and at the end of the day I know what happened. I don't think it was directed at me but as Ghanaians we need to support our own and push it.
“We shouldn’t be looking at the mockery side because from experience I think we have to work hard to be known outside Ghana.”
