Stonebwoy (L) and Shatta Wale
Ghanaian Afrodancehall star Livingstone Etse Satekla, popularly known as Stonebwoy, is trending on social media following the seizure of fellow musician Shatta Wale’s Lamborghini Urus by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).
The development has rekindled an old comment made by Stonebwoy, drawing him into the centre of online discussions.
The controversy began after EOCO issued a statement confirming the seizure of a Lamborghini Urus belonging to Charles Nii Armah Mensah, known in showbiz as Shatta Wale.
The car is allegedly linked to a transnational stolen vehicle syndicate spearheaded by 31-year-old Nana Kwabena Amuah, who is currently serving a 7-year jail term in the United States.
According to EOCO, Shatta Wale and a former senior officer of the National Signals Bureau (NSB) have been identified as “persons of interest” in the ongoing investigation.
Though the NSB official was unnamed in EOCO’s statement, it has been widely speculated that the individual is the embattled former NSB boss, Kwabena Adu Boahene.
He is suspected of purchasing another high-end vehicle that appears on a list of wanted cars by the FBI and the US Department of Justice.
Social media users have resurfaced a past interview in which Stonebwoy described Shatta Wale as a “settings man”, a Ghanaian slang term implying someone who relies on behind-the-scenes arrangements or manipulations.
Many netizens have interpreted this old remark as eerily fitting the current situation, sparking widespread reports and memes across platforms like X.
The controversy further deepened after Stonebwoy shared a photo of himself online, which some fans and critics perceived as a subtle dig at Shatta Wale.
