Musical twins and rising stars Lali X Lola have taken a dramatic and symbolic step in the name of peace and unity within Ghana’s music industry: they’ve cut off their signature red hair.
In a press release titled “Why Must We Choose?”, the duo explained their motivation, rooted in their love for both Shatta Wale and Stonebwoy—two icons whose rivalry has long divided fans.
“We’re cutting off our signature red hair—our crown, our identity—not for fashion, but for peace. For unity. For Ghana music,” they wrote.
The twins, known for their inseparable bond both in life and on stage, revealed that while Lola has a deep admiration for the Shatta Movement and its raw energy, Lalí is drawn to the spirit and melodies of Bhim Nation.
“But guess what?” they continued. “Lola vibes hard to Stonebwoy’s tunes. And Lalí? She can’t help but move when Shatta Wale drops a hit.”
Frustrated with the ongoing rivalry that often overshadows collaboration in the music industry, Lali X Lola challenged the idea that artists and fans must pick sides.
“So why must we choose a side when they have both given us performance opportunities?” they asked. “Why must fans fight? Why must promoters and police avoid putting two legends on the same stage?”
They called for an end to the division, describing their symbolic haircut as a cry from the heart: “Can’t we all just get along?”
Highlighting the potential of uniting two of Ghana’s biggest artists, they added, “We dream of a day when Shatta and Stonebwoy share a stage and it’s not a security threat but a global headline.”
Their message was amplified with a powerful quote from DJ Mercury Quaye: “It’s time to stop the fight. Let’s, with one accord, struggle, tussle, and double the muscle to speed the hustle—for the sake of tomorrow.”
The heartfelt plea concludes with a clear vision: “We’re tired of the tension. We’re tired of the turf wars. We’re tired of seeing greatness in isolation.”
With their bold move and passionate call for unity, Lali X Lola have not only turned heads but also sparked a much-needed conversation about solidarity, growth, and the future of Ghana’s music industry.
