Amaarae is clearing the air after her passionate shoutout to Shatta Wale sparked controversy among fans of Stonebwoy.
During her album listening party in Accra, the sultry singer stunned fans when she passionately declared Shatta Wale the “baddest artiste in Ghana.”
The crowd roared as she praised the SM boss, saying his music was unmatched from Teshie to New York.
However, the moment didn’t sit well with everyone, as BHIM fans quickly took to social media, accusing Amaarae of being ungrateful.
According to them, Stonebwoy had long played a key role in introducing her to the Ghanaian music industry, and they expected her loyalty. Some even claimed she was clout-chasing by leaning into the infamous rivalry between the two dancehall giants.
In response, Amaarae took to social media with a plea for calm.
She clarified that she had nothing but love for Stonebwoy, whom she referred to as her “big brother for years.”
She explained that her praise for Shatta Wale came purely in the spirit of the moment, as his hit song “Freedom” had just set the party ablaze. She added that she had also celebrated Efya and Eazzy during the night and would have hyped Stonebwoy too if the DJ had played his music.
Meanwhile, in typical Shatta fashion, he took to social media to thank Amaarae for the love and extended an open call for a musical collaboration.
