Ghanaian musician Kelvyn Boy has spoken out about his past involvement in the long-running rivalry between Stonebwoy and Shatta Wale, admitting that his loyalty to Stonebwoy once pushed him to say things he now regrets. Kelvyn Boy was closely associated with Stonebwoy's camp for a stretch of his career before eventually going independent. This period placed him squarely in the middle of the feud's tensions, with camp loyalty often expected to extend beyond the two principal artistes to those around them.

Speaking during a radio interview on Hitz 103.9 FM, Kelvyn Boy reflected on the period when he was closely aligned with Stonebwoy, admitting that loyalty pushed him to say things about the rival camp that he now regrets. He said, "When I was with Stonebwoy, I used loyalty to say things about the other camp, and I feel bad for taking sides at that time." This admission marks one of the clearest public acknowledgments yet of how that dynamic shaped his own conduct at the time.

Kelvyn Boy explained that his comments weren't extreme but still crossed a line he now recognizes, noting he had since come to see Shatta Wale differently after meeting him in person. According to Kelvyn Boy, the two eventually connected, with Shatta Wale showing him warmth despite the earlier remarks, and a cordial relationship developing from there. This newfound relationship suggests that both parties have moved past the previous tensions.

The Stonebwoy-Shatta Wale rivalry has simmered for years, drawing in fans, fellow artistes, and camp loyalists at various points. Kelvyn Boy's comments have sparked a heated debate online, with reactions split over how genuine his admission actually was. Some have questioned his sincerity, while others have praised him for owning up to his past actions.

On social media platform X, reactions to Kelvyn Boy's comments were mixed. Some users felt he was being insincere, while others defended him, arguing that he had been pressured into making the remarks. The debate highlights the ongoing interest in the rivalry between Stonebwoy and Shatta Wale, as well as the complexities of loyalty and artistic relationships in the Ghanaian music industry.

Kelvyn Boy's admission is particularly notable given his past association with Stonebwoy's camp. His comments suggest that the pressures of camp loyalty can lead individuals to take actions they may later regret. This phenomenon is not unique to the Ghanaian music industry, but Kelvyn Boy's public acknowledgment of his role in the rivalry may help to shed light on the complexities of artistic relationships and loyalty.

Stonebwoy has been involved in other public feuds, including a recent one with Sarkodie. According to an earlier report, Stonebwoy addressed Sarkodie directly in a lengthy post on X, reigniting months of tension between the two that first flared up after a cryptic "convenient friendship" comment in May 2026. This ongoing feud highlights the complex web of relationships within the Ghanaian music industry.
