a good relationship with Willi Roi.

Stonebwoy alleged that Willi Roi’s death was not natural, so it is normal that people he was

not in the best of terms with would be linked to his demise.

“The manner in which he passed, as Ghanaians, as superstitious people, you might

even feel that it not over a natural dead therefore or probably people have hands in

it…my father will tell me that in a situation like this, whoever he wasn’t free with will to a large extent come to mind,” he said.

“I feel it, he’s human, I look at him from an artiste point of view, I have seen his videos I only got to hear his name and know him last two years ago only when Menzgold and Zylofon came to play, I have never heard anybody called Willi Roi before,” he added.

Stonebwoy, however, added that there was nothing like a good relationship between them when

they worked together at Zylofon.

“I don’t have any relationship with him, we have met only once in the office to record a jingle together for a project …and aside that I haven’t had any good relationship with him till today, so in a situation like this do I have to pretend?” he queried.

Background

Willi Roi died on Sunday, February 10, in his apartment at the Royal Richester Hotel at East Legon in Accra.

His body was found by security personnel who were on a routine check.

Reggae/Dancehall artist, Livingstone Etse Satekla, popularly known as Stonebwoy, has

According to the ‘Tomorrow’ crooner, he met Samini in one of his radio session with Doctor Duncan where Samini spoke very highly of his talent.

He(Samini) asked to meet Stonebwoy and then they recorded an album together. Eventually, things kicked off from there.

Stonebwoy continued to say, “l don’t believe in being lukewarm. If your passion is your work then you must do it with your all.”

“You can’t do a 10% work and expect 90% results,” he added.

“I learnt several lessons while at Zylofon. Some of these lessons include; how to work with other people,” he said.

production and has been accounted for, adding that no one was asked to invest the Zylofon

Media back in MenzGold or given a directive as to how to invest their money.

“I never invested the Zylofon Media cash in MenzGold,” he noted

Awards-winning dancehall/Reggae act, Stonebowy has said that unlike most of his colleague artistes, he doesn’t build his reputation with controversies.

The Bhim Nation boss was speaking in an interview with DJ Advicer on Happy FM’s ‘Ayekoo After Drive’ show.

“I have never staged a beef with any artist in the industry, be it Shatta or any other person in the industry. All the beefs between I and Shatta Wale were real. I don’t fake beef to create attention for myself,” he stated.

The ‘My Name’ hitmaker  also asserted that being on the same record label – Zylofon

Music- with Shatta Wale does not mean they can’t disagree.

According to him, even siblings of the same blood fight among themselves sometimes.

There are series of ‘beefs’ recorded between Stonebowy and his long time arch-rival, Shatta Wale.

The beef even peaked worse after the two artistes were signed onto the now struggling Zylofon Music label.

is not ending anytime soon.

Meanwhile, the banter between Shatta Wale and Stonebwoy has been described by some music lovers as fun.

Burinton Music frontliner, Stonebwoy, has played down criticisms that the Ghanaian music industry is currently being run by three artistes.

According to him, every season in the music industry has its own celebrated artistes.

Speaking to KMJ on Daybreak Hitz on Hitz FM, Tuesday, Stonebwoy said listeners get attached

to the music of up-and-coming artistes who turn to rule the music scene till the songs of others take over.

“Once upon a time Tic Tac [now called Tic], Tinny and some other artiste were ruling the music scene. They were hotter when some of us were not,” he added.

Stonebwoy’s comments however follows Tic’s comments that only three artistes are currently

ruling the Ghana music industry.

The hiplife artiste accused industry players and show organizers of booking three artistes for

almost every show during the 2018 Christmas season.

According to Tic, the monopoly some of these artistes are enjoying have caused other singers to be sidelined. This, he says, does not help other artistes grow.
