The Afro-dancehall musician explained the reason the remix will not happen in an interview on Onua Showtime with Nana Ama McBrown on November 3, 2024.
According to him, a remix with Skrewfaze will only be for the “niceness” of it as it will not lead to any commercial gains.
He noted that even though he has planned to do remixes of the song, he will make sure the project does not just satisfy some people’s wish but rather consider commercial factors as well.
“When the song came out a lot of people mentioned Skrewfaze and he was even happy about it and even did a video. But Portfolio made a statement; the industry is big. Maybe you see it from a fan point of view. But if you break it down, it will just be for the niceness of it. Because already, I have planned to do a lot of remixes.
“But [for the Skrewfaze feature] it will not bring any further commercial factor in the geographical location where we find ourselves. If I had called him for a feature, it would just be for the niceness.
“I have heard people talking about the fact that I should have a remix of the Jejereje song with Skrewfaze. It is a good idea but adding him to the song will not add any commercial factor to the song. It would only be for its niceness,” he said.
He further explained that he does not solely chose which artistes to be on his songs as he has a management involved in such decisions.
Stonebwoy believes Skrewfaze could have done a different version of his song with the same beat without necessarily waiting to be contacted.
“If that [the song] sparks the energy of a legend, the easiest thing to do is to do a version on the beat in that moment if you wanted to because it is just a week less, we were not going to now reach out. I think I commented and reposted,” he noted.
Skrewfaze’s name came up strongly in the remix conversations of Stonebwoy’s Jejereje.
The fans noted that the song’s sound was reminiscent of Skrewfaze’s music from his earlier days and had wished both artistes collaborated for a remix.
Skrewfaze has been in the music industry for over two decades and he’s known for songs such as Gbalagazaa , Bue Bue, Maabena, Ogogologo, Too Fast, among others.
