It looks like it’s the season of ‘beefs’ in Ghana music industry. In recent weeks, social media has been lit up with talk of the exchange between Sarkodie and M.anifest.
The two have gone at each other pretty hard – Manifest with #godMC and Sarkodie’s fast-paced comeback in #Kanta
Not wanting to be shown up by their rap-aligned compatriots, dancehall artistes Samini and Shatta Wale, have reignited their long-standing rivalry.
In his cover of Beyonce’s Hold Up, titled Vextra, Samini goes to town, calling out Shatta Wale on his recent misunderstanding with VVIP over their recent Salah festival.
“Ah me fi tell you coward ina front line. I’m sure your fans them can relate to the punchline. See some actor ina military uniform. Them fake from roof down to the floor. Calm the hype for a minute cuz we seen before” Samini sang.
Twitter ‘fight’
The two artistes have had a go at each other on social media – once again, the platform for such exchanges.
Apparently in response to Samini’s song, the ‘Dancehall King’ sent out a tweet acknowledging Samini’s song and mocked his rival, calling him ‘olu’ (Old man):
Oh @samini_dagaati u deh worry ooo ??? oh why da beef you kno chop finish…ok ade come ???

Samini also took to the social media platform and in a series of tweets derided Shatta’s ‘football age’ and Twitter presence – Shatta, unlike Samini is unverified.

Think that that the end? Hardly.
Not willing to let Samini have the last word, Shatta took to twitter again, responding to the comments about his Twitter status in typical Shatta Wale fashion.

It’s unclear whether Samini will respond to this latest slight from Shatta or whether the Dancehall King will release his own song.
What is clear is that, shots are being fired and everyone is loading up for the final shootout.
