Following Shatta Wale's call for a 'showdown' between him and colleague musician Stonebwoy, a video shows Stonebwoy claiming he can only clash with someone on his own level.

Shatta Wale, in a post on Facebook on August 29, 2024, challenged Stonebwoy to meet him at the Accra Sports Stadium for a battle to settle the dispute over who reigns supreme in the Ghanaian Dancehall genre.

This call comes after Shatta Wale has been taunting Stonebwoy throughout the week over his calls to be acknowledged in an article about pioneers in hiplife in Ghana.

His call in a post on social media read: "I am issuing a formal challenge to @stonebwoy and his fans to meet me at the Accra Sports Stadium to resolve the 'Dancehall King' title dispute. If he and his fans decline this invitation, he should refrain from identifying as a dancehall artiste, as I consider him a reggae artiste."

While Stonebwoy has yet to respond to the challenge, netizens dug up a video of Stonebwoy's June 2024 interview with Accra-based Asaase Radio.

During the interview, Stonebwoy was asked to pick any artiste, locally or internationally, to battle with.

However, Stonebwoy replied, saying, "I'm not clashing any more. There's no way. The thing is, if anybody wants to clash with me, with all due respect, you have to be on my level. I'm not saying anybody is not on my level; I just said you have to be on my level."

This call for a battle has sparked widespread interest, with fans and followers of both artistes eagerly awaiting his reaction, which could potentially set the stage for one of the most anticipated events in Ghanaian music.

The two artistes have clashed twice: in 2010, the duo locked horns at the Labadi Sound Clash event and in 2020, at the Asaase Sound Clash.
