Zylofon Music disassociates itself from “flippant commentary” about Stonebwoy

Zylofon Music has disassociated itself from a “flippant commentary” made by an Executive about Dancehall artiste, Stonebwoy.

On Thursday, May 10, 2018, Willi Roi, A & R for Artiste Development in a now-deleted post on Facebook stated that the ‘Mama‘ artiste “is busy playing cheap gigs for his pocket” whilst colleague Shatta Wale “is shooting multi million videos” and asked him to “look sharp.”

Roi also referred to Stonebwoy as “EWE EAGLE.”

The attention of Zylofon Music has been drawn to a Facebook post by Willi Roi, A&R for Artiste Development – on Livingstone Etse Satekla (Stonebwoy), which seems to prejudice an ethnic group.

Zylofon Music, a label under Zylofon Media Limited, disassociates itself from the flippant commentary from its Executive, noting that the unfortunate post does not in any way reflect the position of the label.

Stonebwoy is a Zylofon Music –recording artiste and must be accorded the same level of respect shown to all the other acts signed to the label.

Zylofon Music promotes unity, progression and peaceful co-existence in the elevation of Ghanaian music and its purveyors, and frowns on any form of discrimination, racial hatred, ethnic or inter-ethnic hatred.
