Music lovers who are looking forward to a remix of Stonebwoy’s Jejereje with Skrewfaze had better perish the thought.
The Afro-dancehall musician has said in a recent interview that such a remix will not happen.
Stonebwoy has mentioned on Onua TV that a remix of Jejereje song with Skrewfaze will not earn him 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 what financial benefit, he will rake in from it.
“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 added that he does not solely take decisions on who to put on his songs; there is a whole management that is involved.
Stonebwoy further intimated that just a lot of artistes jumped on the song and did their renditions, he believes Skrewfaze could have done same without being contacted by Stonebwoy or his team.
“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.
Stonebwoy’s thought on the remix is in tandem with a similar opinion which was shared by Master of Ceremonies and media personality MC Portfolio a few weeks ago when the song was released.
When the song was released in September 2024, Skrewfaze did a live video suggesting that some of his fans had asked him to add his verse to the song. However, he thought as a “legend”, Stonebwoy had to call him if he needed him on the song.
Skrewfaze’s name came up strongly in the remix conversations because Stonebwoy’s Jejereje which features guitarist Ginton, bears a striking likeness to Skrewfazes type of songs.
The Gbalagazaa hit maker who has been in the music industry for over two decades, is known for such high tempo Francophone induced songs.
He also known for other songs such as Bue Bue, Maabena, Ogogologo, Too Fast, among others.
