Kwaw Kese Ends Beef with Shatta Wale

Kwaw Kese Says He’s Done Feuding With Shatta Wale and Wants a Share of His Blessings

Rapper Kwaw Kese says the beef is over. He has no interest in a rivalry with dancehall star Shatta Wale and would rather keep things friendly with a fellow musician whose career has taken off.

He called Shatta Wale his “school son” and admitted the younger artist has made more money than he has. That, he joked, is exactly why he wants to tap into his blessings instead of fighting him. “From today going, I am not beefing with Shatta Wale. He is my school son. Now he has made more money than me, so I want to tap into his blessings,” he said.

The “Awoyo Sofo” hitmaker also wanted to clear up any confusion about his friendship with Stonebwoy. Being close to Stonebwoy, he said, doesn’t mean he has a problem with Shatta Wale or Sarkodie. He insisted he isn’t in a feud with any musician and just wants good relations across the industry. “I am not beefing with Shatta Wale, I am not beefing with Sarkodie, and I am not beefing with anybody. Stonebwoy is my man, but that doesn’t mean I am beefing with anybody,” he said.

He then spoke directly to Shatta Movement, Shatta Wale’s loyal fan base. His message was simple: stop treating him like an enemy and support his work instead. When he drops new music, he wants them to stream it, and when he organises a show, he wants them in the crowd. “Shatta Movement, I am not beefing with anybody, so if I drop my song, you people for stream am. If I dey do my show, you for show up,” he said.

It all reads like an attempt to calm things down and build a better relationship with Shatta Wale’s supporters. Kwaw Kese even said he would be happy to perform at ShattaFest at the Accra Sports Stadium if an invitation came his way. In his view, the real trouble comes from some members of Shatta Movement and not from Shatta Wale himself. “If Shatta Wale agrees, I go come perform for ShattaFest. Ebi SM wey dey cause the problem. Shatta Wale doesn’t have a problem with me,” he added.

One thing to check before you publish: the original text calls ShattaFest “upcoming” and gives the date as October 17, 2026, but that date has already passed, so the wording or date may need updating.
