Rapper Sarkodie has opened up on his complicated relationship with Shatta Wale, stating that their bond is rooted in a shared dream for the music industry, but their frequent clashes stem from how differently they choose to pursue it.
In a conversation with media personality NYDJ, Sarkodie explained that both he and Shatta Wale are driven by the same core ambitions: financial success and, above all, the growth of Ghana’s music industry.

However, their disagreements arise from different methods of execution.
According to Sarkodie, Shatta Wale often disagrees with his approach, and vice versa.
He further described their bond as “beautiful and interesting,” shaped by years of misunderstanding but also by a realisation that their differences come down to execution rather than intent.

“So myself and Shatta, we have a beautiful, interesting relationship. And it took us time to all understand that, we have different ideologies. But one thing that stands out is me and Shatta almost want the same thing every time. Shatta likes money a lot and so do I. We want the success of the industry. Yes, same thing. Free spirit, same with me. That’s how I am as a person. But we bump heads sometimes because of his execution.
“And same thing, my execution, he doesn’t like it. And you have a lot of people, I just feel like it’s human nature. People are born naturally different. As much as somebody is doing their things someway and because you wouldn’t do that, you think the person is wrong. That’s been our biggest problem over the years,” he stated.
He added, “But when you speak to people, you realize you guys all love the same thing, just that the routes to the place is where it’s a bit different. So we got to a point like, listen, my brother, you know, and I know the way you feel about me and how I feel about you. So we cannot let maybe if we don’t understand something that would be an issue. And Shatta gets these things like, and he knows who he really wants to rock with.”
