I fired gun shots in self defense - Stonebwoy

Multiple award winning Ghanaian Raggae/Dancehall artiste, Stonebwoy, has stated that he was forced to fire shots on Saturday during an altercation with his record label, Zylofon Media, in order to protect himself.

The turmoil at Champs Bar in Accra on Saturday which was allegedly triggered by a brawl between some staff of Zylofon Media and Stonebwoy’s camp, got nasty when the BET award winner fired shots after personnel of Zylofon Media forcefully tried to retrieve a Mercedes Benz from the artiste.

In an interview with Hitz FM, the 'Hero' hitmaker indicated that he fired the gunshots as "self-defence", adding that the whole incident should be blamed partly on the company’s decision to keep both artistes on the same label.

Asked if he would have joined the record label in the case where a Dancehall act was already on board and he answered in the negative.

“No. It stays there. You have to give room for people to operate,” he responded.

Debates over the record label’s decision to keep two Dancehall artistes in their camp have dominated discussions after Shatta Wale threw jabs at Stonebwoy on social media and mocked his donation to the Accident Ward at Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital.
