Ghanaian twin music duo, Lali X Lola, have made a shocking gesture by cutting off their signature red hair.
According to them, the act symbolises their plea for peace between the rival dancehall stars Shatta Wale and Stonebwoy.
In an emotional press release, the sisters, who are fans of both artistes, questioned the need for ‘fan wars’ and industry division.
“Lola has a soft spot for Shatta Movement, the raw energy, the passion. Lali? She loves the spirit of Bhim Nation, the messages, the melodies. But guess what?
“Lola vibes hard to Stonebwoy’s tunes. And Lali? She can’t help but move when Shatta Wale drops a hit. So why must we choose a side when they have both given us performance opportunities? Why must fans fight? Why must promoters and police avoid putting two legends on the same stage?” they questioned.
The duo, who have always rocked a bright red hairdo since the beginning of their career, have stated that their new haircut serves as a sacrifice for “unity, peace, and progress” in Ghanaian music.
“We’re cutting off our signature red hair, our crown, our identity, not for fashion, but for peace. For unity. For Ghana music.
“We dream of a day when Shatta and Stonebwoy share a stage and it’s not a security threat but a global headline… We’re tired of the tension. We’re tired of the turf wars. We’re tired of seeing greatness in isolation,” they added.
Quoting DJ Merqury Quaye, they urged: “It’s time to stop the fight… double the muscle to speed the hustle for the sake of tomorrow.”
