“Stonebwoy should understand that it’s a game and a business, and that’s how it will always be” — Abena Moet

Media personality Abena Moet has weighed in on the recent tensions involving Ghanaian music heavyweights Stonebwoy, Shatta Wale and Sarkodie, urging Stonebwoy to recognise the competitive nature of the music business.

Speaking on United Showbiz, Abena Moet said artistes should understand that rivalry, competition and banter are part of the entertainment industry and can sometimes contribute to keeping artistes relevant.

“Stonebwoy should understand that it’s a game and a business, and that’s how it will always be,” she stated.

According to her, Shatta Wale has consistently adopted a “bully” style as part of his approach to the music industry, and that attitude has contributed to the level of visibility and success he has attained over the years.

She explained that Shatta Wale’s confrontational approach has helped him remain a major talking point in Ghana’s entertainment space, even when the discussions surrounding him are controversial.

Abena Moet further argued that the long-running rivalry between Stonebwoy and Shatta Wale has benefited both artistes by keeping them relevant in the music industry.

She noted that their rivalry has generated conversations, debates and attention around their careers, helping to sustain public interest in both artistes regardless of whether they have a hit song at a particular moment.

Her comments come amid the latest online exchanges involving Stonebwoy, Shatta Wale and Sarkodie, which have sparked heated reactions from their respective fan bases and renewed discussions about competition and relationships among Ghanaian artistes.
