Ghanaian Afrodancehall artist Livingstone Etse Satekla, popularly known as Stonebwoy, has found himself at the center of social media buzz following the seizure of fellow musician Shatta Wale’s Lamborghini Urus by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).
The incident has revived an old statement made by Stonebwoy, thrusting him into ongoing online conversations surrounding the controversial seizure.
EOCO recently confirmed in an official communique that it had confiscated a 2019 Lamborghini Urus from Charles Nii Armah Mensah Jr., known in entertainment circles as Shatta Wale. The luxury vehicle has been linked to an international car theft and fraud ring allegedly led by Nana Kwabena Amuah, a 31-year-old Ghanaian currently serving a 7-year prison sentence in the United States.
The agency further named both Shatta Wale and a former senior official of the National Signals Bureau (NSB) as persons of interest in the investigation. While the NSB officer was not officially named, widespread speculation points to Kwabena Adu Boahene, the embattled former NSB boss, who is suspected of purchasing another high-end car flagged by the FBI and the U.S. Department of Justice.
Amid the unfolding scandal, netizens have resurfaced a past interview in which Stonebwoy referred to Shatta Wale as a “settings man” — a Ghanaian slang expression suggesting someone who gains advantages through shady or behind-the-scenes dealings. Many online users have found the comment to be oddly prophetic, sparking a wave of memes and heated discussions across social platforms like X (formerly Twitter).
Fueling the controversy further, Stonebwoy recently posted a photo of himself on social media, which some followers interpreted as a subtle jab at Shatta Wale — intensifying the public speculation and online drama.
As investigations continue, the intersection of music, influence, and alleged crime continues to dominate Ghana’s digital conversation space.
