Chief Stylzz, the manager of Stonebwoy, has lamented what he called an effort to fully exclude Ghana from the popularity of afrobeats.
He claims that some gatekeepers in the Nigerian music industry have been silently fighting against the Ghanaian music industry.
Although it’s unknown what exactly prompted him to make those remarks, it’s been said that they stemmed from a dispute that allegedly broke out after Stonebwoy’s performance at the Afronation event in the USA.
“There’s an ongoing silent war against Ghana music by some Nigerian industry gatekeepers. They don’t want to see Ghana anywhere close to the global success of Afrobeat,” he wrote on Snapchat.
However, this statement has sparked a number of arguments among internet users, including some key figures in Ghanaian music.
Shatta Wale, a dancehall musician who disagrees with the claim, made fun of it in the post’s comment section.
“I don’t know why Ghana music thinks Naija deh owe us. (laughter emojis) Ghana artiste with managers and pity talks.Forget it, it’s a lieeeeee (laughter emojis) Naija has not done anything, it’s our industry we come from…I won’t even buy this for 10pesewas (laughter emojis) Ghanaian artiste wants to be famous but doesn’t want to put in the works …They think dressing will take them there (laughter emojis),” Shatta Wale wrote.
