Sammy Flex, the outspoken manager of Shatta Wale, has fired back at Stonebwoy after the latter referred to Shatta Wale as a “settings man” in a recent interview on Angel FM in Kumasi.
Stonebwoy, who has had a long-standing rivalry with Wale, did not hold back in his criticism, especially targeting the controversial Freedom Street concert held in Kingston, Jamaica, where Shatta Wale performed alongside several high-profile Jamaican artists.
The term “settings man” is often used to describe someone who engages in deceptive behavior or trickery for personal gain. During the interview, Stonebwoy expressed doubt about the authenticity of Wale’s high-profile stunts, including his claim of owning a Rolls Royce.
Stonebwoy specifically referenced the car, which Wale had posed with in the United States, claiming it was his own, only for the luxury vehicle never to make it to Ghana.
“Shatta Wale is a ‘settings man,’ you know? He made a big deal about that Rolls Royce, but it never showed up in Ghana,” Stonebwoy remarked, emphasizing the apparent deception in Wale’s presentation.
However, Sammy Flex, who has been managing Shatta Wale for years, was quick to defend his artist.
In a direct response to Stonebwoy’s comments, he clarified the situation regarding the Rolls Royce, challenging the basis of Stonebwoy’s accusations.
“Stonebwoy needs to understand that there is a difference between ‘settings’ and the kind of work Shatta Wale does. If he thinks Shatta Wale is trying to deceive anyone, then he must know that Wale’s ‘settings’ are on a whole different level,” Sammy Flex said, speaking passionately in a video shared by Ghana Songs.
He continued, explaining that the Rolls Royce was indeed acquired for Shatta Wale’s birthday, but due to unforeseen issues with shipping and paperwork, the car was unable to make it to Ghana as initially planned.
“It was meant to be shipped quietly, not to create a spectacle. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out as intended due to paperwork delays,” Sammy Flex clarified.
This back-and-forth comes at a time when both artists are making waves in the music industry, with Shatta Wale’s performance at the Freedom Street concert in Jamaica garnering significant attention.
While Stonebwoy chose to criticize the concert, dismissing its significance, Sammy Flex emphasized the positive impact it had, noting how the Jamaican audience embraced Wale and how his music continues to thrive internationally.
“Shatta Wale is not just doing ‘settings.’ He’s creating global milestones,” Sammy Flex added. “Look at the reception he received in Jamaica, and look at the numbers on his social media—those don’t lie.”
