Renowned Reggae-Dancehall artiste, Stonebwoy, has addressed his recent comment on his self-sponsored BHIM concert in December 2023.The ‘Jejereje’ hitmaker has been in the news recently after he claimed that no other artiste in his class had been able to sell out the Accra Sports Stadium without sponsorship like he did with his concert.
Stonebwoy made the comment in an interview with 3Music on November 18.
However, speaking on Hitz FM, November 28, Stonebwoy clarified his remarks.
He explained that his remarks were in response to claims by artiste manager Gomski, who had suggested that Dancehall music posed a problem within Ghanaian music. Stonebwoy refuted this claim, emphasizing the genre’s substantial economic influence.
He stressed that Dancehall events contribute to the economy by bringing in money for local businesses, hotels, and airlines.
“I was pointing to the fact that… Dancehall filled the stadium and gave a lot of people jobs. So the economic factor cannot be denied,” he asserted.
He also emphasized that his achievements including filling the stadium and self-sponsoring his concert are widely known and shouldn’t be underestimated by industry politics.
Stonebwoy also reiterated that his claim about the Accra Sports Stadium specifically referred to achieving this feat “without sponsorship.”
