Dancehall musician Shatta Wale, from Ghana, has called on his followers to stop comparing him to Highlife icon Daddy Lumba, calling the practice “disrespectful.” After comparing the musical supremacies of two of Ghana’s biggest artists—dancehall king Shatta Wale and highlife icon Daddy Lumba—online users started a dispute. The comparison was made based on who has more hits than the other, even though both artists performed in distinct genres and ruled throughout different times in history.Considering their numerous accomplishments and timeless hit songs, fans of both performers are divided over who has more successes and is still relevant in the music business.
Shatta Wale responded to the current argument by praising Daddy Lumba, his more seasoned colleague, and pointing out his important contribution to Ghanaian music. Shatta Wale declared that he was deeply respectful of Daddy Lumba’s past and that the highlife legend had a big influence on Ghanaian music.One of the forerunners of highlife music, Daddy Lumba dominated and rose to prominence in Ghana’s music industry from the early 1990s through the 2000s. His timeless highlife tracks, which remain many people’s favorites, are a result of his lyrics and silky voice.
In the meantime, Shatta Wale started out as “Bandana” in the early 2000s before changing his name to Shatta Wale. Through perseverance and hard effort, the controversial musician—particularly in the dancehall form of modern Ghanaian music—became well-known.With remarkable discographies chock-full of hit songs and several award wins, both artists have made a name for themselves.
Shatta Wale received the same prize 14 years after Daddy Lumba did in 2000, when he was named the Ghana Music Awards’ (GMA) “Artist of the Year.” Due to their comparable accomplishments and ongoing appeal, fans are at odds over who is better, and this has led to a heated debate. However, the “Minamino Sin” crooner has called put an end to the comparison and acknowledged Daddy Lumba’s “seniority.”
