Shatta Wale has caused another controversy on social media with what fans describe as a disrespectful comment about Reggie Rockstone and the hiplife grandpapa has the perfect reply for him.

The dancehall act whilst granting an interview today said that he blames Reggie Rockstone for making rap, a culture in Ghana for people like Sarkodie to be riding on it today to diss others.

Shatta Wale was speaking about “Sub Zero” a new Sarkodie freestyle which fans believe it contains punchlines targeted at him.

“I am disappointed … our old men do not like rap they like highlife so rap is not even going to stand strong, I blame Reggie Rockstone for even bringing rap to Ghana because he himself, he has not made an impact with rap,” Shatta Wale said told MzGee on TV3.

In reply, Reggie Rockstone who is credited for institutionalizing rap in Ghana under the Hip Life genre decided to school Shatta Wale on the impact of rap music reminding him that Ghana has more rappers than dancehall acts.

The 55-year-old also seized the moment to remind Shatta Wale that he also started as a rapper when he was Bandana.
