Ghanaian star blames false affair rumors for his broken friendship with the Nigerian singer
On July 27, 2026, Shatta Wale revealed that Burna Boy cut ties with him over false rumors. He claimed his former team lied about him having an affair with the Nigerian star’s girlfriend. Shatta Wale stated that Burna Boy and his mother have ignored his calls since the incident.
Ghanaian singer Shatta Wale has shared shocking details about his rift with Burna Boy. The dancehall star blamed vicious lies for ruining their close bond.
Shatta Wale spoke during a recent episode of TheHonestBunch podcast. He explained how he hosted the Nigerian singer in Ghana. He claimed that jealous former staff members ruined their friendship.
Host in Ghana
Before Burna Boy became a massive star, he asked Shatta Wale for a huge favor. The Nigerian artist personally requested an airport pickup before visiting Ghana.
Shatta Wale said he had never received such a request from any other artist. He welcomed Burna Boy warmly and made sure he was comfortable. The Ghanaian star provided luxury housing and cars.
“I was treating Burna Boy in Ghana like a king. I was showing him the roads of Ghana… I gave him a house, gave him cars. He wasn’t wasting money in Ghana.” Shatta Wale stated this proudly on the podcast. He wanted to show how deep their friendship really was.
False rumors and fallout
Trouble started after Shatta Wale fired some members of his team. These angry former workers allegedly sought revenge. They called influential people in Burna Boy’s camp with lies.
“They told Burna Boy that I was f—king his girl he brought to Ghana. He just bought it.” The singer claimed with obvious hurt in his voice. He noted that the Nigerian star believed the false gossip without asking for proof.
Ignored calls and broken ties
Shatta Wale tried to reach out after Burna Boy became globally famous. His text messages and phone calls went completely unanswered. He even tried to contact Burna Boy’s mother to resolve the issue.
He once viewed her as a mother figure due to their close bond. She simply gave him empty excuses. The manager claimed her son was too busy to answer the phone.
“I didn’t know they’ve told them, and he’s decided not to talk to me. I just thank God that God has put Burna somewhere, but it hurts me that he didn’t listen to me to explain to him that this was what the boys were doing.”
Shatta Wale shared this final thought with the hosts. He remains sad that his former friend never gave him a chance to speak.
