Ghanaian dancehall superstar Shatta Wale has publicly apologised to award-winning hypeman and MC Kojo Manuel following an unfortunate incident at last Saturday’s Tidal Rave beach festival.
During Shatta Wale’s electrifying performance, his head of security, known as Abonko, pushed Kojo Manuel off the stage in what appeared to be a protective move as the artiste and his entourage made their entrance.
Shatta Wale took to X on Monday November 17 to clear the air and extend a sincere apology.
In the lengthy post, the “street crown ” hitmaker also emphasised that Abonko was only doing his job, stressed the importance of timing and discipline during stage entries, and called for unity within the industry instead of public beef.
He urged everyone to treat the incident as a learning moment.
“Kojo Manuel ,so sorryyy, but hey Abonko is the most nicest person ever, but when it comes to my work all my team members bow cuz he is my second in command and none of my team come close .
“Sorry he pushed you but next time just know it when and artiste and team steps on stage I beg you ok Dj vyrusky , told me the plan about the entry and I just want to thank you for that but please next when we have another opportunity let’s do things when I come on stage ,everything is timing and discipline.
“All love bro This is how we can all learn and not fight ourselves to show the world .
I don’t support what he did neither you but let’s learn from this peaceful letter. I have written to you to just say a Big sorry to you and your team
