Kwaw Kese ends Shatta Wale rivalry, says he wants to tap into his blessings (VIDEO)

The rapper clarified that his friendship with Stonebwoy does not mean he has issues with Shatta Wale or Sarkodie, insisting that he wants to maintain good relationships with his fellow musicians.

Kwaw Kese has appealed to Shatta Movement fans to stream his music and attend his shows, adding that he is willing to perform at ShattaFest on 17 October 2026 if Shatta Wale agrees to include him on the bill.

The rapper, known for his hit song ‘Awoyo Sofo’, described Shatta Wale as his “school son” and acknowledged that the dancehall musician had surpassed him financially. He said he now preferred to build a positive relationship with his colleague instead of continuing their perceived rivalry.
