However, reacting to the tweet, Kwadwo Sheldon subtly shaded Medikal and Shatta Wale, two Ghanaian musicians who are known for creating stunts and online banters in order to trend, hoping to spike their streaming numbers.

According to Sheldon, such trends are archaic and Ghanaian musicians should learn from Nigerians how they invest in their craft.

"You can't sit here, drop an album and be beefing Twitter people just to boost your streams. It won't work. That strategy is out of the system."

He stated that artistes could not drop an album, and links for fans to stream their songs, and got for media rounds and go to sleep, without investing money and resources in music promotion.

I now understand why his label got lots of hit songs. He does lots of promo on his socials too for all his artists. The man is a real music shark.

yawaddo_ opined:

Def jam is spending so much money on Stonebwoy's upcoming album. Getting him to do media appearances in the UK, USA, and Europe. You can’t have that success if you are a local champion.
