Ghanaian music duo Lali x Lola have announced that their intention to cut off their signature red locks in their campaign for peace between Ghanaian dancehall arch-rivals Shatta Wale and Stonebwoy.

The two dancehall artistes have not been on good terms for a number of years now. Their rivalry and scramble for supremacy trickle down to their fan bases. This, some believe, is not healthy for the growth of the Ghanaian music industry.

In a press release, twin musicians Lali x Lola highlight how the rift affect them and music lovers. They therefore want to cuff of their hair while they seek peace and unity between the two dancehall giants.

Read their press statement below:

We're cutting off our signature red hair and here is why.

We're Lali and Lola—twins, best friends, sisters in music and in life. We've shared everything. From clothes to dreams, from stages to struggles. But there's one thing that always sparks fire between us: Shatta vs Stonebwoy.

Lola has a soft spot for Shatta Movement—the raw energy, the passion. Lali? She loves the spirit of Bhim Nation—the messages, the melodies. But guess what? Lola vibes hard to Stonebwoy's tunes. And Lali? She can't help but move when Shatta Wale drops a hit.

So why must we choose a side when they have both given us performance opportunities? Why must fans fight? Why must promoters and police avoid putting two legends on the same stage.
This is a cry from our hearts: Can't we all just get along?

We're cutting off our signature red hair—our crown, our identity—not for fashion, but for peace. For unity. For Ghana music.

We dream of a day when Shatta and Stonebwoy share a stage and it's not a security threat but a global headline We dream of a Ghana music industry that doesn't divide, but multiplies—audiences, opportunities, stages, and success.

We're tired of the tension. We're tired of the turf wars. We're tired of seeing greatness in isolation.
Together, Shatta and Stonebwoy could fill stadiums across continents. And together, they could open the door for the next wave—artists like us—to rise. This is not beef. This is a plea. From two girls who grew up loving both sides. From two sisters who argue over your songs but agree on one thing: "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" (Source DJ Merqury Quaye).

With love, Lali x Lola
