Shatta emphasized the importance of acknowledging and honoring Lumba as one of the pioneers who laid the foundation for both current and future generations of musicians.
“It is very disrespectful to compare me to the legend Daddy Lumba , Everyone should stop that because the man in Question paved way for you favs and me myself ” Shatta Wale stated. According to the Shatta movement CEO, People should stop doing that because Daddy Lumba paved the way for your favorite artists and even for me personally.”
Shatta Wale also expressed frustration with fans who focus on comparing him to Lumba rather than their other idols, such as Sarkodie and Stonebwoy.
“Why not compare me to your so-called decorated Sark and Stone? You know very well that this comparison is meant to stir up more hate against me, but time will reveal all, and people will learn. God is watching all of you,” he added.
