Shatta Wale Denies Rumors of Blakk Cedi Taking Over as Manager
Ghanaian dancehall superstar, Shatta Wale, has dismissed rumors suggesting that Blakk Cedi, the former manager of fellow artist Stonebwoy, has taken over as his new manager.
The speculation began after Blakk Cedi expressed gratitude for being part of Shatta Wale’s team during the latter’s electrifying performance at Vybz Kartel’s Freedom Street Concert in Jamaica.
In a heartfelt message shared on social media, Blakk Cedi wrote:
“I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the opportunity to serve as part of your team during the Freedom Street Concert in Jamaica.
It was an honor to step in and contribute to your vision, and I do not take that privilege lightly. Your unwavering respect, trust, and love throughout this process truly humbled me.”
The post, which showed Cedi’s admiration for Shatta Wale, fueled rumors that he had assumed a more permanent managerial role.
However, upon returning to Ghana on Wednesday, January 8, 2025, Shatta Wale addressed the rumors in an interview with JoyNews’ Becky at the Kotoka International Airport.
Shatta Wale clarified that Blakk Cedi’s involvement was strictly limited to supporting his team during the concert and reiterated that his long-time manager, Sammy Flex, remains in charge of his career.
“Blakk Cedi’s contribution is just like JoyNews coming here to interview me—strictly supportive.
I don’t have any problem with anybody, and I appreciate anyone who wants to support me,” Shatta Wale explained.
“Blakk Cedi formerly managed Stonebwoy, but that’s in the past. He’s done well, and I give him a big shout-out. But nobody should tag Blakk Cedi as managing Shatta Wale. Sammy Flex is still my manager,” he added.
