\"Stonebwoy <\/a>Stonebwoy explained that the comment was not meant to spite anyone<\/p>\n

Ghanaian dancehall artiste, Stonebwoy, has addressed the controversy surrounding his use of the word “Historic” in a social media post celebrating his BHIM Concert, just hours after <\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a>Sarkodie<\/a>‘s Rapperholic concert.<\/p>\n

In an recent interview with blogger Mr. Elmi on YouTube, he explained that the comment was not meant to spite anyone, but simply to celebrate what he regarded as a landmark moment for himself.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I made that post, it was with a clean heart. A fan of mine had made a post of my BHIM concert video with lyrics of my new song. I noticed it and was proud of the show, so I quoted it with Historic. Because that show itself was historic.<\/p>\n

“So when people started attacking me, I didn’t understand. I was like, \u2018What did I say?\u2019 It wasn\u2019t a jab or an attack at anyone. I was simply celebrating my own success,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Stonebwoy’s ‘historic’ comment draws online reactions after <\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a>Sarkodie<\/a>‘s concert<\/p>\n

Stonebwoy said he was taken aback by the backlash that followed his post, emphasising that he had no intention of undermining <\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a>Sarkodie<\/a>\u2019s concert or any other event.<\/p>\n

He noted that, before the now-infamous post, he had already encouraged fans to go support <\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a>Sarkodie<\/a>\u2019s show, describing it also as historic.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven before <\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a>Sarkodie<\/a>\u2019s show, I had even posted that people should go and support it. That it would be historic. So there wasn\u2019t any ill feeling,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The narrative that he was trying to compare himself or throw shade, he argued, was a projection of others\u2019 agendas, not his intention.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven prior to <\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a>Sarkodie<\/a>\u2019s show, I had even posted that people should go and support it. That it would be historic. So there wasn\u2019t any ill feeling,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Stonebwoy\u2019s clarifications come against a backdrop of public debate around his \u201cHistoric\u201d post, which drew both criticism and defense across social media platforms.<\/p>\n

Some netizens read the post as a provocation toward <\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a>Sarkodie<\/a>\u2019s Rapperholic show, while others defended Stonebwoy\u2019s right to celebrate his own achievements.<\/p>\n
