Fans who are comparing Shata Wale to Stonebwoy should stop comparing him to a pig.

The well-known Ghanaian dancehall performer and hitmaker of "On God," Shatta Wale, has sent a clear message to his followers and other Ghanaian music lovers: he doesn't want to be compared to Stonebwoy, his longstanding opponent and fellow artist. This comment comes after an incident on X (previously Twitter), where a person going by the handle Shatta Movement Daily chose to compare the two musicians' accomplishments in order to set them against one another.

The fan compared the current streaming figures for Stonebwoy's most recent album with the streaming figures for Shatta Wale's SAFA album on Boomplay, highlighting the former's success. Shatta Wale took advantage of the comparison to express his annoyance with Stonebwoy, even though it seemed to favor him and showed that his numbers were much higher.

Shatta Wale made it apparent in his statement that he does not like being frequently associated with Stonebwoy in public discussions. To highlight the distinctions he sees between them, he employed a daring metaphor, calling Stonebwoy a "pig" and himself a "lion." Shatta Wale expressed that he sees himself and his work as being on a different level by drawing this separation, and that fans should appreciate his decision to avoid being linked to Stonebwoy in such comparisons. He was adamant that nobody should keep putting him and Stonebwoy together when talking about success and impact, not even his supporters or the broader public.

The two musicians' continuous battle, which has influenced Ghana's music landscape for years, includes Shatta Wale's message. With devoted fan bases that cheer them on at every turn, Shatta Wale and Stonebwoy are each extremely successful in their own right. Each artist has expressed his wish to be acknowledged for his own accomplishments without being compared to the others, yet the frequent comparisons have caused friction.

Shatta Wale's insistence on setting himself apart as a separate force in the industry is reflected in this most recent remark. His reluctance to be compared demonstrates his desire for supporters to honor him according to his wishes rather than interpreting his accomplishments as a rivalry. By speaking out, Shatta Wale has once again demonstrated his desire to forge his own route and establish himself as an unrivaled figure in Ghanaian music, regardless of the accomplishments or career paths of his contemporaries.
