Samini, Bola Ray and Shatta Wale in August 2017
According to the true Ghanaian dancehall King, Samini, his arch-rival Shatta Wale has been using his name [Samini] as his national anthem anywhere he [Shatta Wale] goes.
The ‘My Own’ hitmaker in an interview on Hitz FM said, “He can’t go on any platform without mentioning me. If you say someone sabotages you, you need to prove that”.
On the question of whether he [Samini] is better than Shatta Wale in terms of dancehall music, the boss of High-Grade Family responded that he is ever ready to “catch Shatta Wale one-on-one, four bars to four bars…” to prove that he is the true dancehall King in Ghana.
Challenging Shatta Wale for a freestyle battle, Samini said:
“He can’t stand me when it’s freestyle. He knows; he knows. I know he is a freestyle artiste too and I can’t disrespect him for that fact but he knows I am bad when it comes to that.
“He [Shatta Wale] needs big money and investment so we showcase the thing once and for all to Ghana and the world so everyone knows he just talks”.
