Artiste of the Year for the 24th TGMA, Stonebwoy has clarified any bad blood between himself and colleague King Promise.

The duo were highly regarded as the contenders for the most prestigious award, creating a debate among fans of the two artistes.

King Promise subsequently congratulated Stonebwoy in a post on X after he won the Artiste of the Year award.

However, Stonebwoy did not respond to his congratulatory message upon which speculations have surfaced about a bitter relationship between the two.

But the Reggae Dancehall Artiste explained in an interview that there are no strings attached to him not responding to King Promise.

He said he has received many of such messages which he has not responded to.

“Yes, King Promise congratulated me, I have seen it but I have not responded. I just saw it and I didn’t think to respond”, he told Andy Dosty on Daybreak Hitz.

“There are so many people who I’ve not responded to their congratulatory messages so I think it’s in that basket. Believe me, there is nothing attached to it at all. It’s nice to congratulate people and I am not that petty”, he said on Hitz FM.

Stonebwoy urged the fans and netizens not to create any tension between them as he views King Promise as his junior brother in the industry.

“No, I plead and beg they do not take it that far, it’s no bad blood and I can never be seen that way with him”

“He is one of our junior brothers in the industry. When he did ‘hey sexy’ I remember I was travelling at that time, I had to pass by and shoot the video for him”, he stated.

“I do not believe I have any problem with my brother personally at all. We don’t play so I don’t want anybody to start creating anything. If anybody chooses to create anything, they will have to deal with it the way it is but I can’t get involved”, he added.
