MC Portfolio has apologised to Shatta Wale following comments he made about the SM Boss in the presence of Stonebwoy on Angel FM, a situation that sparked outrage.
The apology was made on Fakye Showbiz, where MC Portfolio admitted that he had erred.
The issue began when MC Portfolio, during his appearance with Stonebwoy on Angel FM, mentioned that some BHIM fans had asked that he contact Shatta Wale’s mother to return the “controversial” GH¢ 5,000 gift Shatta had earlier given him.
The fans believed this was the only way MC Portfolio could make amends with Stonebwoy, as they claimed he had betrayed him by accepting the money from his rival, Shatta Wale.
But in a recent development, Mawuli Ekpe Peter (Abro), a passionate Shatta Wale supporter, confronted MC Portfolio, saying that involving Shatta Wale’s mother was uncalled for.
Abro argued that it was disrespectful for Portfolio to state that he was under pressure to return the GH¢ 5,000 to Shatta Wale’s mother.
Initially, MC Portfolio dismissed Abro’s concerns.
However, after reflecting on the incident, he acknowledged that his words were inappropriate and disrespectful to Shatta Wale and the SM community.
In his apology on Fakye TV, MC Portfolio said, “I deeply regret the comments I made. I understand now how they could have hurt Shatta Wale and his fans, and I sincerely apologize. My words were ill-chosen, and I recognise the importance of being mindful of the impact they have.”

Background
What was described as the true test of MC Portfolio’s loyalty recently occurred when he came face-to-face with Shatta Wale.
After a period of publicly criticising Shatta, particularly on social media, MC Portfolio found himself in a more complicated situation on live TV during the ‘Fakye Showbiz’ program.
In an unexpected turn of events, Shatta Wale handed MC Portfolio GH¢5,000 live on air.
MC Portfolio’s reaction was a mixture of shock and confusion as he initially questioned why Shatta was giving him the money but accepted it nonetheless.
The aftermath
The aftermath of this development sent shock across the industry. Many individuals, including Stonebwoy’s close associates, criticised MC Portfolio for accepting money from Shatta Wale, viewing it as a sign of disloyalty.
Some went as far as to claim that Shatta had cleverly used the gift to weaken Stonebwoy's relationship with one of his key supporters.
DJ Slim, a prominent figure close to Stonebwoy, expressed disappointment during a discussion on his ‘Street is Watching’ podcast.
He expressed that, as a known member of Stonebwoy’s camp, MC Portfolio should never have accepted money from his rival Shatta Wale.
DJ Slim also pointed out MC Portfolio’s apparent shift in behaviour when interacting with Shatta, particularly his body language, which he interpreted as a sign of betrayal.
Slim also criticised the timing of the gift, questioning why Shatta would give MC Portfolio money publicly rather than behind the scenes.
He reminded MC Portfolio that while Shatta Wale had given him money, Stonebwoy had given him much more, exposure and support.
