One of the best Afro-dancehall artists in Ghana, Epixode, born Theophilus Nii Arday Otoo, has cautioned that anyone who would disrespect the multiple award-winning Afro-Dancehall artists Livingstone Etse Satekla popularly known as Stonebwoy for being the one protruding Ghana music to the world will die.
The debate regarding the Ghanaian or African artiste who protruded afro-dancehall music to the world has been lingering in the Ghanaian music industry for some time now.
Zimbabwe’s Buffalo Souljah, Orezi from Nigeria, Samini, Stonebwoy, Shatta Wale and Mzvee from Ghana, are some of the numerous artists who have helped project afro-dancehall music globally.
But speaking in an exclusive interview with celebrated broadcaster, AJ Sarpong on Citi 97.3fm, Stonebwoy, in response to the aforementioned debate, without mincing words stated candidly that he single-handedly sold the afro-dancehall music to the World.
His claim has created huge mixed reactions within the showbiz fraternity. Award-winning Ghanaian entertainment Pundit Arnold Asamoah-Baidoo expressing his view on the matter said:
“He [Stonebwoy] has every right to own it especially when he has indeed projected his brand, the ‘genre’ and the country to the world. His international appeal cannot be questioned”.
However, while performing at this year’s Bhim Concert organised by Stonebwoy, Epixode applauded the ‘Therapy’ hitmaker for taking Ghana music to the World.
‘Big Ups to Stonebwoy for taking Ghana music to the World wider”. He said in a video sighted by Citi FM/TV’s entertainment news website Ghanaweekend.com
The ‘Atia’ crooner who was one of the outstanding performers on the night cautioned that,” anyone who would disrespect Stonebwoy for taking Ghana music worldwide, ‘I say dead’ because I am a prophet”.
