How Stonebwoy’s ‘historic’ comment created a social media storm after Sarkodie’s Rapperholic concert

Social media was set ablaze over the weekend following Sarkodie’s highly anticipated ‘Rapperholic: Homecoming’ concert in Kumasi but the ensuing online buzz inadvertently pulled fellow award-winning artiste Stonebwoy into a firestorm of criticism.

While timelines were flooded with videos and accolades for Sarkodie’s performance, a post from a fan comparing concerts resurfaced, putting Stonebwoy in the crosshairs.

A social media user shared a clip from Stonebwoy’s 2024 BHIM Concert, praising the artiste with lyrics to one of his songs.

“Ah never go tell dem to fake it till they make it, Ah rasta tell them to practice and Perfect it,” the user posted.

However, many felt that the post contained a subtle jab at others.

Things escalated when Stonebwoy quote-tweeted the post, simply adding the caption, “Historic.”

This single word ignited a wave of backlash, with numerous users accusing the dancehall star of jealousy and attempting to dim Sarkodie’s successful night.

However, defenders of Stonebwoy were quick to counter the narrative.

They pointed to another post made by Stonebwoy himself in the lead-up to the Rapperholic concert, where he shared a video of Sarkodie dancing with the same “Historic” caption.

His supporters argued this demonstrates consistent praise for his colleague and not bitterness.

They pointed out that Stonebwoy’s quoting of the post of his concert was in no way a jab at anyone and was just a standalone post.

The debate over Stonebwoy’s motives comes just as Sarkodie recently expressed interest in a future collaboration, telling fans in an interview that he would like to feature Stonebwoy at a future Rapperholic event.

Despite the brouhaha between fans online. Many have pointed out a professional respect between the two giants of the Ghanaian music industry.
