A well-known DJ from Ghana, DJ Lord OTB, has expressed his frustration with reggae and dancehall star Stonebwoy and his team. This incident took place during DJ Lord’s performance at the Guinness Accravaganza show.
DJ Lord was one of the DJs at the event on Saturday, March 29.
He claims that Stonebwoy’s team was unhappy with him for choosing to play songs by Shatta Wale to keep the audience engaged and entertained.
In a detailed online post, DJ Lord described how unpleasant the experience was and shared his surprise at the unprofessional behavior from Stonebwoy’s team.
He explained that the audience was thoroughly enjoying the Shatta Wale songs he was playing until he was abruptly told to stop by Stonebwoy’s team.
“At the behest of Stonebwoy’s management, I was instructed to cease playing Shatta Wale’s music immediately. Can you imagine? Given my background as a DJ, this is obviously disrespectful and unprofessional.,” DJ Lord OTB wrote.
“This isn’t just about me feeling disrespected. There are much bigger problems here. Artist managements keep overstepping their boundaries, acting like they’re in charge of everything. DJs and MCs keep getting treated as unimportant, even though we’re the ones who keep the energy going and make sure events run smoothly,” DJ Lord said. “And worst of all, personal beef between artists is now being used to control what music gets played at events, which just makes the whole industry look petty,”
DJ Lord feels that unless these minor issues are addressed and everyone behaves professionally, the music industry in Ghana will struggle to progress.
