''SHATTA WALE $ SAMINI TO SMOKE PEACE PIPE '' - REGGIE ROCKSTONE

the showbiz industry, arguably, for sometime now - have been dominated by series of hits from dance-hall artistes,

 but instead of more entertaining hits from the now trending genre, there seem to be a turmoil in the dance-hall camp that has aroused the attention of staunch industry players.  

showbiz critics, believed the feud started as a challenge to claim the lyrical supremacy accolade and dance-hall king of the moment.   

and what may have started as a normal lyrical battle between dancehall artistes samini and shatta wale in recent weeks has gone sour as the two(shatta_wale + samini) seems to be at loggerheads now. 

 
not known to be the best of buddies, until the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards(V.G.M.A), nobody knew about their feud.

kaakie, percieved to be from samini's camp(high-grade-family) was given the dance-hall artiste of the year... instead of shatta wale... some music lovers disclosed.

tv3's owusu worae captured shatta wale on camera as he destroyed some chairs and props at the V.G.M.A venue - chanting derogatory statements at charter house, kaakie $ samini. 

angered by the decision from charter house, shatta immediately registered his displeasure by releasing a song titled 'letter to charter house'

this is how the so-called lyrical feud for supremacy in the dance-hall genre camp began.

to prove his maturity shatta apologized, and invited samini management for a collaboration 
which did not really yield fruits. 


 
and out of no where samini released a new single supposedly directed at shatta wale titled scatter bad mind (diss song).

evidently, the move by samini registered a revival of a feud that was almost dying.

in response to samini's song, shatta and his camp, replied samini in no time with a track titled 'sixth letter to samini'.

even fans of both artistes have taken sides, and at the just ended 4syte music video awards, fans chanted shatta wale's name as samini appeared on stage to perform as if to spite samini.

 

this development has generated controversies in the music industry and created uneasiness amongst some staunch industry players as a whole.

a league of concerned stake holders initiated by the office of the national hip-life director, reggie rockstone, in collaboration with musiga have initiated a peace process for the ongoing unrest in the dance-hall industry.

CEO of the last two records, hammer is part of the committee hoping to strike a truce between the two.

the process to thrash all sentimental engagements between the two artistes in order for a truce has been scheduled to take three days.

in an attempt to avoid contradictory statements and misquotes of the media on this sensitive matter the committee has decided that none of the two parties will grant interviews about progress of the peace talks until a truce is called. 

 













so we have our fingers crossed to see how efforts to strike a truce between the two top dancehall artistes pans out.
