Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Stonebwoy, a renowned musician from Ghana, has provided an explanation for why he was not present at the SallahFest event that took place in April 2024.
Stonebwoy was originally scheduled to perform alongside Shatta Wale as a headline act, but his absence sparked speculation and raised questions.
Stonebwoy was first announced as a headline act along with his rival, Shatta Wale, but his absence sparked inquiries and prompted different theories.
In a discussion with Hitz FM, Stonebwoy explained the reasons behind the fallout, specifically highlighting a breach in their agreement about event promotion.
Stonebwoy made it clear that their arrangement with Sadiq involved hosting a charity show without any fees and with no public advertising. Nevertheless, Sadiq’s choice to promote the event with flyers, instead of following the agreement, was a significant violation of trust.
Stonebwoy made it clear that his decision to withdraw was due to the inappropriate promotion, which he communicated clearly to the event organizers.
“They (the organisers) were in contact with my team, but by the time they would even finish for me to hear the outcome, Baba Sadiq had gone ahead to post a flyer. He even posted the wrong flyer. I don’t know what his plans were. So that was what broke us, and we couldn’t go. And we communicated that.
“If we had ill intentions, we would have gone ahead to say that we could not make it but I pushed away and suggested we leave it so that the show flowed. Then after, maybe if somebody asks, we can always say, oh, ‘I was sick. I was not feeling well’. So it wouldn’t be like I was going to be disrupting somebody else’s show,” he said.
Stonebwoy voiced his disappointment with the backlash from the public after withdrawing from the event, citing personal attacks and false stories that impacted him and his family. He stated that the insults and falsehoods were so widespread that his father and other family members contacted him to share their worries.
“And then the insults on my life came through. I think the insults went so far I had calls from even my father, et cetera.
“We were like, ‘Bro, what levels of lies are these? These lies are too much to contain.’ But we just chilled and that’s how we’ve chilled the whole time,” he said.
He added that, “Nobody can tell me that they’ve seen a reply from any of my people concerning all that misappropriation and that attack on my character. So whatever the plan was or is, only he can answer and tell us what his plans were or are to this day.”
