Jamaican Dancehall artiste, Vybz Kartel, has commented on Ghanaian Dancehall artiste, Shatta Wale's new single titled 'Island'.

After the self-proclaiming King of African Dancehall, Shatta Wale posted a lyrics video of his single 'Island' on Instagram, Vybz Kartel commented and wrote "Bomboclaat fire".

In response to what Vybz Kartel wrote, Shatta Wale wrote: "still learning from da teacher...bless up".

Even though Vybz Kartel is behind bars at the moment in Jamaica, he is able to record music and post on social media.

This is not the first time Ghana is hearing of a connection between the Gaza camp and the Shatta Movement camp.

From last year, there was news of a possible collaboration between the two controversial artistes but that is yet to happen.

Even though the two artistes have not recorded a song together yet, there seems to be a tight bond between the two dancehall acts.

Shatta Wale has said on many occasions that he admires Vybz Kartel and regards him as an idol and a teacher.

It is out of such allegiance that Vybz Kartel, real name Adidja Palmer, began to know about Shatta Wale and his music.

It is, however, a plus for Shatta Wale because to be recognized by a top-notch artiste like Vybz Kartel means a lot.

'Island' which was produced by YGF records is a new single released by Shatta Wale.

Even though the video is not out, the lyrics video has a cartoon design of Shatta Wale and his longtime girlfriend Shatta Michy depicting that the single is dedicated to his lover.

Before the lyrics video, YEN.com.gh published a story and video of Shatta Wale and Shata Michy getting cozy while the 'Island' single was playing.

This is not the first time 'Champion' Shatta Wale is recording a song in admiration of his longtime girlfriend Shatta Michy.

In 2016, Shatta Wale recorded 'Chop Kiss' in admiration of his 'baby mama' and consequently shot the video with her making the song a big hit.
