Burna Boy, Grammy winner from Nigeria, has challenged Ghanaian singer Shatta Wale to prepare himself for a fist fight since he knows he’ll be singing ‘rubbish’ if the two meet for a freestyle battle.
Burna Boy’s spat with Shatta Wale began after the latter accused Nigerian musicians of failing to support his country’s music and musicians despite the love they receive from Ghanaians.
Shatta Wale swiftly responded, interpreting Burna Boy’s words to suggest a freestyle war, tweeting..
“Oh @burnaboy says he wants a 1 on 1…ok let’s do this Accra sports stadium… All I do is call the shots. Symbol for collision The collision sign… If you’re a dude!!! Let’s go freestyle instead of singing your song!!! Nigeria – Ghana… “I’m completely prepared for this.”
The Grammy winner took to social media to tell Shatta Wale that he wants a one-on-one meeting with him to prove that he isn’t just a ‘small’ lad in the music industry.
Boy wrote, “This guy thinks i have time. @shattawalenima, this ain’t 8mile! no be rap battle. Its a fist battle. The type real men do. We can do it anywhere u want. Behind closed doors or in stadium for the world to see. Stop acting like you don’t know i’ve been trynna set this up since january last year. Consider this an easy way out for you.
