While Stonebwoy did not directly mention Shatta Wale, the timing of the post fueled heavy discussions on social media, with fans interpreting it as a subtle reaction to his colleague’s situation.

Shatta Wale was detained by EOCO on Wednesday, August 20, 2025, after he voluntarily reported to the office in connection with investigations into suspected money laundering, tax evasion, and the acquisition of his yellow 2019 Lamborghini Urus.

He spent hours under interrogation and remained in EOCO custody until the evening of Thursday, August 21, 2025, when he was granted bail.

During this period, hundreds of Shatta Movement fans thronged the EOCO head office in Accra, protesting his detention and demanding his immediate release. The crowding at the premises made headlines, with both sympathisers and critics weighing in on the unfolding saga.

Stonebwoy’s cryptic post came at the height of this tension and just before news broke of Shatta Wale securing bail. The coincidence has amplified discussions among fans, with some suggesting it was simply a teaser for his upcoming “TorchER” EP.
