Ghanaian Afro-Pop and Dancehall musician Kelvyn Boy, has reacted to Stonebwoy’s statement that no musician will emerge like Sarkodie, Shatta Wale or himself until the next four decades.
At the recently held MTN 4Syte Music Awards, Stonebwoy said it would take 40 years to find musicians like himself, Shatta Wale or Sarkodie in the industry.

The CEO of Burniton Music Group added that some underground artistes who don’t respect should humble themselves.
Reacting to the comments, however, KelvynBoy, said comments that were likely to lower the spirit of up-and-coming musicians shouldn’t be encouraged.
“I don’t think if Freda Rhymes gets nominated at the Grammy, we will not go for it because she is underground. The last time it was Kwesi Arthur who got nominated for BET Awards.
“I think that’s the energy that pulls us back. We know they are legends and we know they are bigger than us but you don’t say such things to discourage people. Even if he or she is, they will move from class one to two,” he said in an interview with Sammy Flex.
The Mea hitmaker, who said he doesn’t seen himself as an underground act, maintained that A-list musicians like Stonebwoy should rather “raise high the flag of Ghana and encourage emerging musicians.”
