Stonebwoy: Naija artistes are successful because they are positive minded
According to the Ghanaian dancehall singer, Nigerian artistes are ahead of their African counterparts because they are aggressive and positive minded
The success of Nigerian artistes have mostly been attributed to their huge numbers but Ghanaian dancehall artiste, Stonebwoy believes that their huge attainment goes beyond that.
According to him, Nigerian artistes are ahead of their African counterparts because they are aggressive and positive minded.
“Truth be told, I’ve been discussing this with my Nigerian brothers. We’ve been trying to crack this but we all believe that the numbers factor is part of it and then that [is] not been the number one for me,” Stonebwoy told host Charlamagne Tha God on the Breakfast Club. “I admire my brothers for their tenacity, aggressiveness and also their mindset.”
The Nominate hitmaker mentioned that even though he admired Nigerians for such qualities, he had no reservations about the instrumental roles of Ghanaian artistes towards the development of African music.
“And the beautiful thing is that we all tap into that because these are our brothers, no matter how you want to put borders around it, we are one people, so it’s all of us in the end. We play our role, and they play their role as well,” the Baafira hitmaker said.
He also disclosed how some of the Nigerian artistes have been praising Ghana for contributing to their success.
“Interestingly, everyone of their top-lister, find inspiration in Ghana,” Stonebwoy said. “Burna [Boy] says it often, Wizkid literally lives in Ghana, Davido is like a brother that’s 24/7 we’re together. We’re all playing our individual roles together out there, we cannot all be in the front seat.”
