Shatta Wale challenges Stonebwoy to a clash for the title of ‘Dancehall King’.
“If Shatta asks for a challenge, then it means he feels insecure or threatened. If you are sure of yourself, why would you want a challenge with someone you claim to be ahead of? And since you disrespect him, why should the stone come near It seems that the shatta wants to become a trend”.
@Lutamann said:
“How simple it should be! You insult my personality, sabotage my art, make fun of my “disability” and do even worse things to me, then expect me to give you my attention by calling for a “conflict”???? It would be very disappointed in @stonebwoy if he agrees to do it!!!”
