The post was from Shatta Wale's feed, and the song the Jamaican artiste shared was 1Don's tune, What If.
The fan, through the caption of his post on X, spoke about the beautiful bond between the two musicians and hinted that Shatta Wale was not respected in his country, Ghana.
"Vybz Kartel been posting the African Dancehall @shattawalegh everyday wooow the love is deep but here we go in this village country Ghana they don’t give good respect to my man oooo 😂😂😂😂😂. Demdead 😂 #TheAfricanKingAlbum."

"This is a big opportunity for Ghana, but as usual, agenda must agend, cuz it’s Shatta Wale," he wrote.
The Jo Lese crooner noted that many Ghanaians would be better off if they were to tap into his blessings.
"But imagine every musician and stake holder taps into this great international artiste blessings on Shatta Wale. If deh no go mek ago ,dem too dem no go go 🩸🙌💪👍💚.," Shatta Wale emphasised.
