Ghanaian Afro-dancehall artiste, Epixode, born Theophilus Nii Arday Otoo has cautioned individuals who intend to disrespect multiple award-winning Afro-Dancehall artiste Livingstone Etse Satekla popularly known as Stonebwoy.
According to him, Stonebwoy is going the extra mile to push Afro-dancehall music worldwide, hence anyone who intends to drag him in the mud will die.
The debate regarding the Ghanaian or African artiste projecting 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 really helped project afro-dancehall music globally.
Earlier 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 pronouncement has since stirred mixed reactions within the showbiz fraternity. Award-winning Ghanaian entertainment Pundit Arnold Asamoah-Baidoo who earlier expressed his view on the BET award-winner’s declaration in an interview with Ghanaweekend.com 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
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”.
