The 25th Telecel Ghana Music Awards Artist of the Year, Stonebwoy has shared further insights into the circumstances that led to his legal dispute with Baba Sadiq Abdulai Abu.
This revelation comes after Stonebwoy’s notable absence from the 3Music SallahFest on April 20, 2024, where he was announced as a headliner alongside rival dancehall artist Shatta Wale.
According to Baba Sadiq, former owner of 3Music, Stonebwoy’s manager expressed dissatisfaction with Shatta Wale being added to the concert lineup, which heavily influenced Stonebwoy’s decision not to perform.
However, Stonebwoy has clarified that the primary issue was the unauthorized promotion of the event. He stressed that it was meant to be a charity show and not advertised.
He went on to explain that Baba Sadiq’s posting of an incorrect flyer resulted in a breach of trust, leading to his withdrawal, which he communicated to the organizers.

In an interview on Hitz FM on June 13, 2024, Stonebwoy expressed his frustration over a series of tweets from Baba Sadiq, which he found defamatory.
He conveyed his confusion and disappointment with Baba Sadiq’s public demeanor and the lack of a disclaimer distancing himself from the insults directed at Stonebwoy.
Stonebwoy shared that he reached out to Sadiq’s wife, with whom he has a long-standing relationship, to address the issue.
“He could have issued a disclaimer to detach himself from all the insults. But none of that was done. And when he was asked, you could see the way he was going about it, as if I had done him some evil.
“Even when he was tweeting different things to fans or replying to fans, telling lies about who finances me, claiming he put money directly in my pocket while he was owing me.
“It was on this platform that Bulldog stated he owed me. I had to quiet him. I wondered how he even knew. So, seeing these things, I’m like, no, this is too much.
“I picked up the phone and called my sister. We relate; we vibe from time to time. So I called her because we vibe. I call her sis. But I don’t know what I’ve done to your husband,” he explained.
Despite the tension, Stonebwoy emphasized that he harbored no ill intentions and had always shown respect to Baba Sadiq.
The artist further highlighted his efforts to handle the situation respectfully, avoiding public disputes on social media.
