Ghanaian dancehall star Shatta Wale has extended an olive branch to legendary musician and dancer Slim Buster, urging him to cease engaging in escalating online battles with fans and to stop holding him responsible for the ongoing social media friction.
In a candid statement addressed directly to the veteran artiste, Shatta Wale expressed shock over how recent internet commentary had affected Slim Buster, emphasizing that he holds nothing but deep respect for his senior colleague.
“Slim Buster, please, you know very well that I would never disrespect you. In fact, I am quite shocked at how you are allowing certain things happening on the internet to get to you,” Shatta Wale stated.
Clarifying the Misunderstandings
Addressing the friction that has unfolded across social media platforms, the Shatta Movement leader made it clear that he never initiated or fueled any hostilties towards the highlife and hiplife icon. He cautioned Slim Buster against letting unverified narratives drive a wedge between them.
“Whatever anyone may have told you might have triggered your decision to engage in these online battles with the fans. But I want you to understand one thing from today: I will never come at you with disrespect or hostility,” Shatta Wale reassured.
He went on to plead with Slim Buster to refrain from treating him as the instigator, noting the fierce loyalty of his fanbase: “My fans are loyal and won’t forgive you since they never heard or saw me come at you.”
A Word of Advice on Internet Culture
Beyond clarifying his stance, Shatta Wale offered practical counsel to the veteran star regarding the tumultuous nature of social media and public discourse online.
“With all due respect, please put an end to this and rather take some time to understand how the internet works and how best to handle it,” he advised. “The internet is not an easy place, and not every comment deserves a reaction.”
Shatta Wale concluded his message by reiterating that his intervention was motivated purely by reverence rather than clout or publicity.
“I say this with nothing but respect for you. This is not for trends but a little advice from a younger brother to the senior,” he wrote, sealing the message with a glass-clinking and crown emoji.
Neither Slim Buster nor his representatives have publicly responded to Shatta Wale’s statement yet. Fans on both sides remain hopeful that this respectful gesture will put a quiet end to the online dispute.
