Ghanaian journalist, known as Olele Salvador on X has clapped back at Stonebwoy following his rant about Grammy’s inability to recognize him.
In an X post, Olele wrote:
“Ghana got introduced to Stonebwoy properly somewhere in 2007 when he dropped “Thanks & Praise,” produced by Kwik Action, a Reggae/Dancehall record not a Hiplife record in that era.
“Years after, Dr. Duncan will host him on his show and that’s where Samini reportedly heard of him and brought him under his wing. At that time Samini & Shatta Wale had already done Hiplife records either as solo acts or featured artists; still in that era saf, Reggae/Dancehall was reportedly known & seen in Ghana as “ragga” or “Rag life”— pioneered by Sonni Bali & Abrewa Nana dems.”
“Efo may have been inspired by these legends in the Hiplife space from that era, but his introduction to us has been evidently reggae/dancehall; he didn’t have a notable Hiplife record in that era. That’s why the records cannot capture him in the early 2000s. Get it now?”
This was after the Grammy Recording Academy shared an article in their official website speaking about the pioneers of Ghanaian music.
The name did not include Stonenbwoy, who believes ve he has played enough role in Ghana music to get the same recognition.
