"Wash Your Hands & Wash Your Brains Too'' - Legendary Reggie Rockstone Jabs Shatta Wale
Hiplife Legend, Reggie Rockstone has replied Dancehall artiste Shatta Wale after the latter came at him saying he is a self-acclaimed originator of Hiplife music genre in Ghana but has made no significant impact in showbiz.
According to Shatta Wale, Reggie Rockstone has been living a fake life.
Shatta Wale's attack on Reggie Rockstone, who has earned an accolade as "grandpapa of hiplife'', stemmed from a seeming beef between the Dancehall artiste and Rapper Sarkodie who recently spit some bars in a latest song dubbed "Sub Zero''.
The "My Level'' hit maker was of a strong view that Sarkodie's rap career has been influenced by Reggie Rockstone and Sarkodie is equally living a fake life like his mentor.
Responding to the claims by Shatta Wale, Reggie Rockstone in an Instagram video lectured him on the impact of hiplife in the entertainment arena.
"Rap is that, that's the foundation. Matter of fact, let's rewind again; you started off as a Rapper. Emma 'Bandana' and that's how you, that was your whole transition...Another thing you got to remember is that Dancehall is not too far from Rap...In fact, from the very inception of Hiplife, Dancehall is always been walking side by side with Hiplife or Hip Pop.
"Hold up! It is through rap that I was able to pull in an international collaboration with one of your mentors, the King of Dancehall Beenie Man. That was rap. Oh wait, hold up! I pulled in another one, Wyclef; international megastar, that was through rap. That was a huge impact...Let's talk about creating jobs...Hiplife definitely [definitely] created jobs...In fact, if anything Nigerians do a lot more singing; Ghanaians are known for rap. We're very rap-oriented. Hiplife is probably the biggest youth-oriented movement in the history of Ghana'', he stated.
Reggie Rockstone, further took a swipe at Shatta Wale saying "wash your hands and wash your brains too''.
