Popcaan Weighs In On Ghanaian Dancehall War Between Shatta Wale And Samini
No matter where Dancehall takes hold there will always be a fight for who is the best at the genre. The most recent beef, among Ghanaian performers Shatta Wale and Samini, has taken the spotlight on social media in the West African country, so much so that the Unruly Boss Popcaan weighed in from Jamaica.
Wale and Samini have never really seen eye to eye and the two reignited their beef on Twitter yesterday.
YEN reports that Samini ignited the match when he described Shatta Wale as a ‘living fool’ because he measures a man’s worth by the value of his assets, in a 2 AM Tweet.
“The living fool measures the success of a man by the size of a swimming pool. living proof of the fact that depths of minds differ. A beneficiary always feels wisest until the benefactor becomes woke. Remember I did it all by myself without a “Nam1” and no one is my Don,” he posted.

Samini, who collaborated with Popcaan on Violate in 2014, continued to throw shots at Wale including letting him know that he was a self-made artiste and did not have the help of any big producers or record label like Wale. He made those comments because of the fact that Wale benefitted from a deal with NAM1, who is the CEO of Zylofon Media, a major company in Ghana. Wale was signed in 2018.
“Lol e vex 😂.We Dey here wey you get everyting free cus of your kissass attitude and fanfool style. I Dey #wa Dey chill for now but I promise you a track on Friday 🤫 3 days of sleeplessness won’t hurt 😂😂😂.I never insulted your benefactor FYI .de jot high you 😂😂😂 read well” he said in another tweet at 9AM.
The beef continued back and forth with the duo trading insults until Samini declared that he would be dropping a special song for Wale on Friday, February 26.
Minutes later, Popcaan awoke to the “chubble” and was clearly entertained by the rivalry.
He tweeted, “My entertainment is from ghana this morning SM VS HIGHGRADE?? Chubble.”

Wale commented under that post letting Popcaan know that he intends to head to the studio to deal with Samini in song as well.
He posted: “Jamaica is even awake with these disturbances, sorry Unruly Boss for disturbing you this morning.. We apologize for disturbing your sleep my king we are entering the studio now mi boss.”
Looks like we’ll have to wait until Friday to see what these two have in store.
