‘Delete that nonsense’ – Shatta Wale lashes out at trolls following Stonebwoy ‘Grammy nomination snub’
Dancehall artist Shatta Wale has taken a stand against online trolls targeting fellow musician Stonebwoy, who was not included in the nominations for the 66th edition of the Grammy Awards.
Shatta Wale, known for past confrontations with Stonebwoy, encouraged fans to stop the trolling and instead show support for Stonebwoy. He emphasized the importance of avoiding ill will and negative sentiments, expressing that he does not take pleasure in others’ misfortunes.
Shatta Wale demonstrated wisdom by encouraging celebration if Stonebwoy were to win a Grammy Award, emphasizing the positive impact it would have on Ghana.
In a TikTok Live broadcast, he directed his fans, especially those associated with Shatta Movement (SM), to focus on promoting his new hit “Incoming,” featuring Tekno, rather than engaging in negative behavior like laughing at Stonebwoy, which he considered “stupid.”
“Anybody who has posted or is mocking Stonebwoy that he wasn’t nominated for Grammys should delete it as soon as possible. It is a stupid thing to do. Total nonsense! There are songs we need to promote and this is the focus. Forget everything else. Everyone should delete that nonsense bulls*** thing.
“If Stonebwoy did not secure a nomination should that be your joy? God did not create me to watch people fall. I want everyone to rise. I want everyone to be successful and make money,” he said.
🚨ICYMI🇬🇭🏆🎶: @shattawalegh calls out some of his fans & that of other fanbases who seem to be ‘trolling’ @stonebwoy for getting a Grammy nomination snub.

The Grammy Awards, held annually, celebrate outstanding recordings, compositions, and artists from the eligibility year, as determined by members of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences.
Despite the submissions of songs for Grammy consideration by several Ghanaian musicians, including Stonebwoy, Rocky Dawuni, Amaarae, MOG Music, and Juls, none of them made the final list of nominees for the 2024 Grammy Awards.
This absence in the nominations has sparked discussions and reactions within the Ghanaian music industry and among fans.
