Shatta Wale hits back at Samini; calls him a 'hype artiste'

Charles Nii Armah Mensah Jnr, also known as dancehall artiste Shatta Wale is still waging his "war" on his music counterparts in Ghana and Nigeria, following his jabs at Naija’s Wizkid Dayo.

It all started when Shatta Wale in a recent interview stated he would never consider the Nigerian musician as a superstar.

“I will not see Wizkid and be stunned, I rather want him to see me and be amazed because I don’t see anything extraordinary about him, even though he claims to the best African artiste,” he said.

This comment was followed another jab by Shatta Wale at Wizkid on the social media platform, Twitter, where he invited dancehall and Reggae musician Samini, to join him in the ‘beef.’

Samini, however declined the offer, insisting Wizkid is a superstar just like him and Shatta Wale and all the other big names in African music. Samini added he had no interest in joining the fight, stating: “I am not a fan of beef, I am a vegetarian.”

The Shatta Movement king did not take this comment well, as he responded by throwing 'shade' at Samini, whom he mocked for having difficulty with the English language and described him as just a ‘hype artiste.’

“Oh but u @samini_dagaati english deh worry u like that.. ibe question i ask, say.. ‘u go like chop’.. now u deh talk like u get injury..eeiii papa twitter u for know say ano say u shaaaa waaaa oo but i just deh consider..lol….sorry i forget say u sef u be hype artiste,” Shatta Wale tweeted.

Meanwhile, other Ghanaian musicians have hopped on the Shatta Wale train, to support the dancehall artiste against Wizkid. D Cryme and Guru used their Twitter platforms to show support to the artiste, indicating that the Shatta Movement king is right in his rant against the famed Naija artiste.
