“Dancehall King”, Shatta Wale was one of the few people who reacted to Sarkodie’s recent collaboration with the legendary Bob Marley.

According to him, the collaboration is nothing special, so he doesn’t understand the uproar on social media.

The ‘Gringo’ hitmaker during an interview with Dj Reuben on Luv FM’s Drive Time, downplayed the significance of Sarkodie being featured on a Bob Marley classic.

“I don’t think it should be a problem. As we hear, Sarkodie has featured Bob Marley, it’s so beautiful, at least we have someone who has featured a ghost, we should praise him” he said.

“I haven’t checked social media that much but I think everybody is happy for what has happened, unless I’m proven wrong,” Sarkodie said.
