Stonebwoy And Zylofon Media In Legal Talks Over Contract

Zylofon Music record label admits that there’s problems between them and reggae and dancehall artist, Stonebwoy.

Furthermore, PRO for Zylofon Music, Arnold Asamoah-Baidoo spoke about this in a conversation with Sammy Forson. Moreover, he reiterated that Stonebwoy was still with Zylofon Music. Also, he added that the notice of artiste’s services still holds.

He stated that

“I would be lying if I do state that there is no issue between Stonbwoy and the record label.”

However, he stated that lawyers of Zylofon Music and the artist management have had meetings to put matters to rest. Therefore, for him to make such a public statement was a surprise.

PRO of Zylofon Media, Arnold Asamoah-Baidoo about Stonebwoy’s contract and status as a signee

“Stonebwoy is still a Zylofon recording artiste and there is no dispute about it. I remember on March 13, there was a release by or for the label outlining all the celebrities under the brand and Stonebwoy’s name was in there. On March 23rd, there was another release which actually specified that if there is any organisation/firm that would want to engage Stonebwoy as an artiste, the person must seek the approval of Zylofon Music and that still stands. As far as we are concerned as a label, Stonebwoy is still signed to us.

I would be lying if I do state that there is no issue between Stonebwoy and the record label. Over the period, the legal team of Zylofon Music and Stonebwoy’s team have been meeting to resolve the seeming issue that exists betwen the two entities so we were actually surprised that he went ahead to make those statements to the effect that his management should be contacted for bookings.” 

Also, the host asked  about Stonebwoy’s recent behaviour. About whether it was because he wasn’t given the attention other artistes on the label enjoy. He answered:

“I’m not sure that is the problem because he would have said that in any of the several meetings we have had.

We have given this to our legal team which is led by Kwame Boafo Akuffo and with time we are going to issue a statement in regard to the latest declaration by Stonebwoy because we believe as a label, it is important we respect contract and responsibilities both parties have in the contract so you guys will hear from our legal team.”
