Jupitar slams Shatta Wale & Samini
Ghanaian dancehall artiste Jupitar has descended
heavily on Ghanaian artistes claiming lords over
dancehall kings title.

He says “all those claiming they are dancehall
kings are living a fairy tale. Even in Jamaica, no
one calls himself a dancehall king”.

“Once they gain a little fame, they begin to
arrogate to themselves the title “dancehall
king”. Some including Shatta Wale and Samini are
“beefing” allegedly over who the dancehall
king is.

But in an interview with Kwame Poku, Dancehall
sensation, Jupitar lambasted all artistes
clamoring to be recognized as “dancehall
kings” as he believed dancehall music was not
competiton.

“It’s not a competition and we are learners,
learning from Jamaica. How can you be here and
call yourself a dancehall king?” he queried,
adding that “you cannot be in Ghana and call
yourself a dancehall king”.

He however advised all dancehall artistes to be
humble and learn the nuances of the language and
art constituting dancehall music. He also called
for unity among dancehall musicians in order to
promote their kind of music.
