Stonebwoy ignites new ‘beef’ with open letter to Sarkodie

Ghana's dancehall artist Stonebwoy has ignited fresh tensions within the country's music scene following his response to fellow music star Sarkodie. The exchange appears to be a pointed exchange between the two industry veterans. Earlier, Sarkodie had cautioned artists against indulging in fan wars and elevating their preferred musicians by provoking rival brands.

He emphasized that fans engaging in such behavior may not genuinely support the artists they champion, as they might be seeking personal attention and engagement. Stonebwoy, however, appeared to take issue with Sarkodie's message and responded indirectly with a subliminal message: "Me and me dawg No Give a Fxxk About You.. Ganging Against The Torcher Can't Hold!!!"

In a subsequent tweet, Stonebwoy directly addressed Sarkodie, recalling their personal conversation after his recent performance at the RAH in the UK. Stonebwoy recounted speaking to Sarkodie for over 10 minutes, where they discussed various aspects of the music industry, including artists' behavior and their divergent perspectives on how the industry operates.

Stonebwoy expressed his negative sentiments towards Sarkodie's stance, particularly his remark that "no artiste could be forced to uphold any form of principle." He urged Sarkodie to practice what he preaches and called on him to demonstrate consistency in his actions.
