Stonebwoy's music video for Jejereje, released a few days after the song went live, has registered an impressive 1.2 million hits on YouTube.
Despite its strides, some music professionals believe the song failed to live up to its potential.
In a recent interview with Joy Prime, Blakk Rasta spoke about Stonebwoy's Jejerejere, saying,
“With no disrespect, love, I mean Stonebwoy is my brother, I love him. He knows I love him. ‘Jejereje’ came out. We were all banging on it. I was in Nkroful when it came out. I said 'Wow', this is a great song. I loved the song. After one week, 'Jejereje' has gone to sleep. I love it, I want to see 'Jejereje' go all the way to the top," he said."
Speaking to YEN.com.gh Yaw Boadu-Ayeboafoh said,
"There is a lesson or two we can all learn from Fancy Gadam's strides down south. I have no doubt his upcoming concert will be successful and thats because of his efforts towards community building."
