DJ Slim [L] and King Paluta

Media personality DJ Slim has fired back at Ghanaian rapper King Paluta following the latter’s recent comments describing his criticism as “loose talk.”

During a recent episode of his show Street Is Watching, DJ Slim responded directly to King Paluta’s remarks made on Nhyira FM, where the rapper expressed disappointment in DJ Slim for suggesting he didn’t deserve the Telecel Ghana Music Award (TGMA) Artist of the Year (AOTY) due to poor category promotion.

DJ Slim, clearly unamused by the backlash, said he was surprised by the “Makoma” hitmaker’s reaction—especially considering that he had actually shown him support during TGMA night.

He emphasized that his initial comments were not personal but purely business, rooted in his honest view of the music industry.

“Everyone who knows me knows I speak my mind,” he added. “Before the TGMAs, I simply stated that artists like King Promise and Stonebwoy, who are heavyweights in the mainstream, were doing more than Paluta. That’s not hate—that’s business.”

DJ Slim further issued a word of caution to the rapper, hinting that the tables may soon turn in the future and that King Paluta would need him.

“King Paluta, you will come and look for me,” he declared. “And pray that when the time comes, you come laughing and not crying.”
