Media personality MC Portfolio has opened up on the reason his initial relationship with dancehall musician Shatta Wale turned sour.
In a discussion on Hitz FM on December 5, 2024, MC Portfolio stated that Shatta Wale had asked him to betray his loyalty to fellow industry figures, including Andy Dosty and DJ Slim, a request he turned down, leading to their fallout.
“At a point in time, you know the rift between Andy Dosty, I don’t want to call it a rift or whatever but whatever there seems to be have been between Andy Dosty and Shatta Wale, I was torn between both fractions, Andy Dosty, Slim, Shatta Wale.
“I don’t know what it was, but according to Shatta we have built a relationship to a level where I should be openly in his defence when such things cross up, and I have told Shatta in his person that there is no way I am going to betray my loyalty to the Andy faction to please him. I do not want to be part of it,” he said.
Portfolio also addressed claims by DJ Slim that he had followed Shatta Wale around during his recent media tour in Kumasi.
“After we lost contact like two years and he (Shatta Wale) comes to Kumasi,on a media tour and he is on my show. Slim made people believe that I have been following Shatta the a media tour and that is where I was disappointed. You (Slim) know where I work and know the station and I am affiliated with.
“So Shatta comes on the show designed by me and the TV station, It is a one-month-old. I don’t know how Shatta got on the show. I had no idea and an hour before the show we got an impromptu announcement that he would be on the show. I am someone who is helping to build the station but the host has a relationship with Sammy Flex,” he stated
MC Portfolio also recounted an instance when Shatta Wale’s road manager asked for him to be removed from the show on Angel FM before Shatta would agree to an interview.
“You see when Shatta Wale came to Angel FM before we went to Fakye Showbiz. So the thing was, I was on the show on Angel FM when his road manager came and told everyone that I should leave or else Shatta Wale would not grant us the interview.
“So Sammy Flex came in and told me in a polite manner that I should leave the premises for his sake, and at the right time, I will come inside. And because I respect him a lot I left the scene. I had to come back because I had a segment on the show that was the reason why I waited,” he added.
Background
The controversy began on November 22, 2024, when Shatta Wale visited the Ashanti Region for a media tour, making stops at stations like Angel FM and Fakye Showbiz.
During his appearance on Fakye Showbiz, Shatta Wale offered MC Portfolio, a close associate of Stonebwoy, GH¢5,000 live on TV, sparking widespread condemnation.
Critics slammed Portfolio for accepting the money from Shatta Wale, who is considered Stonebwoy’s greatest rival in the industry.
