Ghanaian musician and Down flat hit-maker, Kelvynboy has publicly expressed his frustration and disappointment with his former boss, Stonebwoy, accusing him of using "mafia tactics" to hinder his growth and success in the music industry.
In an outburst on X(twitter) today, Kelvynboy claimed that Stonebwoy's actions have turned Ghanaians against him, making it difficult for him to rise to the heights he desires but grace was speaking for him.
“What exactly do you want from me nigga? You have defamed me, turned majority of Ghanaians against me because you’re a saint and you can never do no wrong.
“I no dey fit rise to the heights I for dey mainly because of your mafia tactics but Grace dey speak for me regardless…” he posted.
Kelvyn’s post follows an insinuation by Stonebwoy that his life was at risk working with Kelvyn Boy on his Burniton Music label in 2018, causing their split.
Even though Stonebwoy hasn’t realty opened up about their rift since 2019, his recent comments of his life being under threat during an interview with MC Portfolio has perhaps enraged Kelvynboy.
Kelvynboy joined Stonebwoy's Burniton Music Group (BMG), bringing his unique Afrobeat style to complement Stonebwoy's reggae/dancehall dominance. The partnership seemed promising, with Kelvynboy becoming one of Ghana's fastest-rising stars.
However, rumours of tension began circulating in mid-2019. Kelvynboy faced accusations of being ungrateful and disrespectful toward Stonebwoy.
Insiders claimed that Kelvynboy felt overshadowed and undervalued by his label boss. The speculation culminated in September 2019, when BMG announced the termination of Kelvynboy's contract, citing "structural challenges."
The split marked the end of their professional relationship, but the animosity lingered. Both artists occasionally exchanged subtle jabs on social media, with Stonebwoy hinting at betrayal and Kelvynboy expressing frustration over being misunderstood and undervalued.
In 2020, tensions escalated when Kelvynboy was reportedly attacked during an event in Ashaiman. Although Stonebwoy publicly denied any involvement, fans speculated that his team might have been responsible, given the location and timing.
The incident further strained the already fractured relationship between the two musicians.
Despite the years of separation, Kelvyn Boy has made efforts to mend their relationship, often using media platforms to reach out. At one point, he even publicly knelt and begged Stonebwoy to let go of the past and reconcile.
