Sally Mann Calls for Stonebwoy to Step Down from MC Role if He Doesn’t Refund GH¢5,000
Controversial media figure Sally Mann has expressed her disappointment with MC Portfolio, accusing him of betraying the BHIM camp by accepting GH₵5,000 from dancehall musician Shatta Wale. Sally, visibly upset, shared a video on Instagram calling on MC Portfolio to return the money to Shatta Wale and publicly criticized him for what she described as a poor decision.
In the video shared by Adom TV, Sally Mann is seen holding up a bundle of GH₵100 notes, which she claimed was the GH₵5,000 given to MC Portfolio by Shatta Wale. “Portfolio, this is GH₵5,000,” Sally said, directing her message to the controversial figure. “As a queen mother of this industry, call me and come get this money to return it to Shatta Wale. If this was the only money you needed, BHIM could have easily given it to you.”
Mann’s frustration stems from the fact that MC Portfolio, who has been closely associated with Stonebwoy’s BHIM camp, accepted money from Shatta Wale, despite the loyalty and support he has received from Stonebwoy over the years. According to Sally, this decision undermines the relationship MC Portfolio has built with Stonebwoy and the BHIM camp, particularly since Stonebwoy has helped him gain significant exposure in the music industry.
Sally Mann went on to criticize MC Portfolio for not recognizing the value of the support he received from Stonebwoy. “Do you know what Shatta Wale did for you?” she asked rhetorically. “Who knew your brand in Kumasi when you used to work with him? Stonebwoy took you in and made you popular. Just look at the social media engagement you received after Stonebwoy brought you into his camp. He’s even the reason you won Hypeman of the Year.”
Sally further argued that MC Portfolio’s acceptance of GH₵5,000 from Shatta Wale was a slap in the face to the contributions Stonebwoy has made to his career. She urged Stonebwoy’s supporters to take action. “If Shatta Wale worked with you all these years and couldn’t give you the exposure or money you needed, but Stonebwoy has done so much for you, only for Shatta Wale to recognize your potential and offer you GH₵5,000—and you couldn’t reject it—that’s a problem,” she emphasized. “I’m telling the BHIM fans, if Portfolio doesn’t apologize and return that money to your boss, you should drop him from the camp.”
One of Sally Mann’s key criticisms was the relatively small sum of money that MC Portfolio accepted from Shatta Wale, which she viewed as a poor choice for someone in his position. “Why would you accept just GH₵5,000 when the same person has publicly claimed to take $200,000? Why didn’t he give you at least GH₵50,000, but instead, you took GH₵5,000?” she asked. “Let’s not forget, the notes he gave you were all GH₵5 bills. Portfolio, you’re an embarrassment to the entertainment industry. You’ve disgraced all of us.”
This heated exchange follows a visit by Shatta Wale to several media stations in the Ashanti Region on November 22, 2024, including Angel FM and Fakye Showbiz. During his appearance on Fakye Showbiz, Shatta Wale offered GH₵5,000 to MC Portfolio, a gesture that shocked many due to the ongoing rivalry between Shatta Wale and Stonebwoy.
In addition to offering the money, Shatta Wale explained that he had blocked MC Portfolio on the platform X after Portfolio and DJ Slim disrespected him during a previous program. Despite this, his act of offering financial assistance to MC Portfolio has stirred controversy, especially given the history between the two musicians and their respective camps.
Sally Mann’s strong comments add fuel to the fire of the ongoing rivalry between Shatta Wale and Stonebwoy. The situation now places MC Portfolio in a difficult position, with fans eagerly waiting to see whether he will return the money to Shatta Wale and offer an apology, or if he will remain loyal to his current camp. As the drama unfolds, it continues to highlight the underlying tensions within Ghana’s entertainment scene, particularly within the dancehall and music communities.
