Dancehall musician Shatta Wale has recently voiced his frustration with netizens comparing him to Highlife legend Daddy Lumba.
Daddy Lumba, known for his pioneering work in highlife music, significantly influenced the Ghanaian music scene from the early 1990s through the 2000s.
With his unique vocals, massive hits, and timeless songs, Lumba established himself as a key figure in Ghanaian music.

Shatta Wale, however, is a whole different vibe. Formerly known as Bandana, he rebranded and skyrocketed to fame in the early 2000s with his dancehall beats and catchy tunes.
He’s become a major force in modern Ghanaian music and is known for his energetic performances and vibrant personality.
So why the fuss about comparing these two legends from different eras? Shatta Wale thinks it’s not just misguided but downright disrespectful.
In a post on X, he didn’t hold back: “It is very disrespectful to compare me to the legend Daddy Lumba. Everyone should stop that because the man in question paved the way for your favs and myself”.
He also hinted that these comparisons are part of a plot to create tension and tarnish his image. “This is what my opponents do to just tarnish my image in public,” he said. “They want to compare me to Lumba so that the oldies will hate me and say I don’t respect.”

But Shatta Wale didn’t stop there. He took a jab at the people making these comparisons, suggesting they should pit him against his contemporaries like Sarkodie and Stonebwoy instead.
“Why don’t you compare me to your so-called decorated Sarkodie and Stonebwoy? You know it would be a disgrace for them, so you chose this path to create more haters for me right? Time will tell. Man will learn. God is watching you all.”
