In 2024, Ghana's entertainment scene was alight with fiery exchanges, dramatic clapbacks, and bitter rivalries as some of the biggest names in showbiz locked horns in public disputes.
From witty diss tracks to social media showdowns, here are the top celebrity feuds that had fans buzzing:
Shatta Wale vs. Black Sherif:
The year’s most controversial feud began when Shatta Wale took a jab at Black Sherif’s fashion sense during an episode of the Rants, Bants, and Confessions Podcast. Unamused, Black Sherif hit back with a viral Snapchat post mocking Shatta Wale’s choice of underwear. The insult struck a chord, prompting Shatta to threaten the younger artiste in a heated X (formerly Twitter) live session, claiming he could end Sherif’s career.
Fans quickly took sides, with hashtags and memes dominating social media, making it one of the year’s most talked-about rivalries.
Shatta Wale vs. Stonebwoy:
In June, another feud involving Shatta Wale took centre stage when the University of Ghana cancelled his headline show. Shatta Wale publicly accused Stonebwoy of sabotaging the event due to a competing concert on the same day. Stonebwoy denied the allegations, but the drama left fans speculating about behind-the-scenes tensions between the two dancehall giants.

Sista Afia vs. Efia Odo
Old tensions between singer Sista Afia and actress Efia Odo resurfaced when a fan compared Sista Afia’s trending bikini video to Efia Odo’s style. The actress was quick to fire back, calling the comparison disrespectful. Sista Afia didn’t hold back, delivering a scathing clapback of her own.
This reignited their past beef, including allegations from Efia Odo that Sista Afia had been involved with her boyfriend—a claim Sista Afia strongly denied during a televised confrontation. The tension added new layers to a feud that once nearly turned physical.
Nana Ama McBrown vs. Sally Mann
Veteran actress Nana Ama McBrown found herself on the receiving end of consistent criticism from media personality Sally Mann. Refusing to engage in the drama, McBrown finally broke her silence, stating that she chose not to respond because she considers herself above such exchanges. Her dignified stance resonated with fans, contrasting sharply with Mann’s repeated jabs, and showcased McBrown’s class amidst the chaos.
Sarkodie vs. Dremo
On May 10, 2024, Ghanaian rap icon Sarkodie dropped Brag, a chest-thumping anthem claiming his spot as Africa's greatest rapper. Nigerian rapper Dremo wasted no time firing back with a diss track, dismissing Sarkodie’s GOAT status and asserting that Nigerian stars were outshining their Ghanaian counterparts.
The cross-border rap feud electrified fans, with heated debates spilling across social media platforms, highlighting the friendly (and not-so-friendly) competition between Ghana and Nigeria in the hip-hop world.
Conclusion
From petty squabbles to professional rivalries, 2024 will go down as a year of intense celebrity drama in Ghana. These feuds, while controversial, kept fans entertained and the entertainment industry buzzing. As the year ends, the question remains: Will 2025 bring reconciliations or even more dramatic showdowns? Only time will tell!
