Ghanaian artiste, Praye Tiatia, has asked dancehall musician ,Shatta Wale, to learn to keep his mouth shut, instead of opening it at will to say "nonsense".

He said this in a reaction to Shatta Wale's claim that all Hiplife artistes are poor during an interview on United Showbiz on UTV with Nana Ama McBrown. Shatta Wale said: “Hiplife boys are poor! Anybody should come out and come fight me. I am saying that Reggie Rockstone”.

Praye Tiatia, who is a member of the Hiplife group, calmly took to his Instagram to advise Shatta Wale to acquire understanding, as his words don't come across as someone who has any.

"Bro! @shattawalenima Many are those before you who sacrificed a lot to build an industry for all of us to join.The Music industry years ago took blood, sweat, passion and pure talent to entertain Ghanaians for love and country. Legends like @reggierockstone and others sacrificed to pave the way for us in hiplife and afrobeat, including people who sacrificed and groomed you Bandana for absolutely nothing.

"You rich pass all of us, yooo wakaa yati but i can assure you your so called riches won't make top 10 list of rich musicians even in our neighboring Nigeria here norr sef, so bro enough of the disrespect to Ghanaian artistes, producers, DJs and the entire industry you came to meet!" He pointed out.

Praye Tiatia, who's real name is Stephen Fiawoo told Shatta Wale that he might a be a big fish, but he only seems big because he's in a small pond. He advised the dancehall god to look at the oceans of Nigeria and Africa at large, and to see if he will still be relevant in those quarters. 

"Many artistes are very comfortable but they don’t need to brag and disrespect others like you do. Davido and Wizkid are two of the richest musicians in Africa but they don’t find the need to disrespect their predecessors! You dey embarrass yourself and Ghanaian musicians to the world."

"no personal beef here just common sense and morals being shared. We've had it with the gross disrespect and ridiculing at any given chance. Brag all you want but learn to respect people who have made sacrifices for you to “eat” today!"

"There were people before you and there will be people after you. We are grown men and women who also have families, you don’t open your mouth and spew anything anyhow"." He concluded.
