Shatta-EOCO Saga: I talked about his ‘settings’ lifestyle before things unfolded – Stonebwoy
Dancehall musician Stonebwoy has commented on the recent seizure of Shatta Wale’s 2019 Lamborghini Urus by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).
According to Stonebwoy, the development did not come as a surprise. Reports indicate that the luxury vehicle was taken after FBI findings linked it to an ongoing fraud investigation.
Stonebwoy added that he had previously hinted that there might be more to Shatta Wale’s flashy lifestyle than meets the eye.
Speaking in an interview with ‘The Fix’, shared on YouTube on August 12, 2025, Stonebwoy said,
“You see when you follow the news properly, me as a man we know the truth before the truth comes out, but from where I stand, you can’t two talk you know. I made some revelations already before stuff got going on.”
When Shatta first announced he had bought the Lamborghini in 2024, Stonebwoy in an interview with Kumasi-based Angel FM, described him as a ‘settings man’.
He explained that he called him a “settings man” because, as an insider, he had access to information most people don’t.
“I remember that thing I said, everybody say Stonebwoy ah prophet, me say listen me, listen me, I’m a fan of music, I’m musician too, but fortunately I’m an insider, me know whole heap of things where you can’t know,” Stonebwoy recalled.
Explaining the slang, he said: “Settings, it’s a Ghanaian slang, me want the Jamaican them adapt it. When I say a man is a settings man, him love to set up things, that means, like he is packaging the thing them but it’s not the real one, it’s not the real situation.”

Stonebwoy added that the industry is full of people who live flashy lifestyles they cannot afford, and that the Lamborghini situation was only part of a much bigger picture which might unfold later.
“See, we know the industry, trust me, we know the industry and we know how it’s set. If you look it, if you flash it, it’s not everybody who can really have it or afford it, but believe me, everybody want to be like, you know, many people want to really flash it and all of that, so that news that is coming out.
“I don’t mean to say nothing, because there are one part I watch the whole film. I’m full, but me know certain things, whole heap of things in the backgrounds where me is not a fan of, because I say most often, that if some of the things that I knew was known by some other people on the other side, I wouldn’t sleep. I would lose my head over it,” he said.
