The Zylofon-Stonebwoy infamous has raised its ugly head again after Stonebwoy defiantly declared that whoever wants to book him for a show should contact his manager, Blakk Cedi and not Zylofon.
However, his utterances have not pleased Zylofon Media and there could be a possibility of a law suit, based on how they are both threading.
The PRO of Zylofon Music, Mr. Arnold Asamoah-Baidoo gave a slight hint on this in an interview with Sammy Forson on Hitz FM this morning.
Mr Asamoah-Baidoo made mention that Stonebwoy is still signed under Zylofon Music thus, all who need the services of the artiste must contact the record label.
He said:
Stonebwoy is still a Zylofon recording artiste and there is no dispute about it. I remember on March 13, there was a relase by or for the label outlining all the celebrities under the brand and Stonebwoy’s name was in there.
On March 23rd, there was another release which actually specified that if there is any organisation/firm that would want to engage Stonebwoy as an artiste, the person must seek the approval of Zylofon Music and that still stands. As far as we are concerned as a label, Stonebwoy is still signed to us.
I would be lying if I do state that there is no issue between Stonebwoy and the record label. Over the period, the legal team of Zylofon Music and Stonebwoy’s team have been meeting to resolve the seeming issue that exists betwen the two entities so we were actually surprised that he went ahead to make those statements to the effect that his management should be contacted for bookings.
Asked whether the BET award-winning act’s recent behaviour counts down to the fact that he is not given the attention other artistes signed under the record label enjoy, he said, “I’m not sure that is the problem because he would have said that in any of the several meetings we have had.”
The host of the show, Sammy Forson, also quizzed if Stonebwoy’s comment is not a breach of contract, Arnold answered by saying, “we have given this to our legal team which is led by Kwame Boafo Akuffo and with time we are going to issue a statement in regard to the latest declaration by Stonebwoy because we believe as a label, it is important we respect contract and responsibilities both parties have in the contract so you guys will hear from our legal team.”
Honestly if Stonebwoy doesn’t tone down so this issue get settled once and for all, it go a long way to affect his brand.
