Stonebwoy has pulled a total of 61.6% of votes as Ghana’s biggest dancehall artiste. He was followed by Shatta Wale who got 21.1%, then Samini, who managed 12.1%. The poll was organised by female musician Becca on her Twitter handle. According to Becca, she came up with the poll based on requests from direct messages she got.

Nhana Kofi thinks the results are accurate saying that no one should compare Shatta Wale to Stonebwoy:

Nina believes Shatta Wale should have won because he does real dancehall songs, not reggae:

Meanwhile, the battle of who is the biggest Dancehall artiste in Ghana has long been lingering. The three musicians in the poll all claim to be the best.
Many people, however, acknowledge Samini as the first among them to start music with the last being Stonebwoy.
