Ghanaian Afrobeats sensation and Down Flat hit-maker, Kelvynboy says recent tweets accusing his former label boss, Stonebwoy, of sabotaging his career were tweets by his management.
In an interview with Rebecca Tweneboah Darko, the musician revealed he woke up to the tweets by his management but takes responsibility for them since his management is a representation of him.
“I don’t handle my social media so it’s my team. I woke up to see those tweets. My team knows how I would react to the news hence tweeting just like me. I didn’t type it but it’s my account so I accept responsibility for the tweets. What you saw is exactly what it is…” he said.
On Monday, December 30, 2024, Kelvynboy 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 opened up about their rift since 2019, his recent comments about his life being under threat during an interview with Ike De Unpredictable on Angel FM have 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.”
