Ghanaian Afrobeats singer Kelvynboy, known in private life as Kelvin Brown, has declared his intentions of reconciling with Stonebwoy.
Kelvynboy, a former signee of Stonebwoy's Burniton Music Group (BMG), broke away in 2019. The breakaway turned acrimonious, leading to the axing of Stonebwoy's then-manager, Blakk Cedi, from BMG.
Since then, the relationship between Stonbwoy and his protégé has been strained, and they have not been seen in any form of interaction.
In a recent interview on Hitz FM's Daybreak Hitz with Andy Dosty, Kelvynboy shared that he was making efforts to mend fences with his former mentor, who made him grow locks.
The Down Flat hitmaker stated that he had attempted to reconcile with Stonebwoy for five years, but his efforts have been met with silence.
"I've been trying to make peace with Stonebwoy for five years now, but to no avail," Kelvynboy stated during the interview.
Kelvynboy felt enough time had passed for them to settle their differences, admitting that he could barely recall the cause of their fallout.
"At this point, I can even forget about what led to the misunderstanding," he added.
Despite the lack of response from Stonebwoy, Kelvynboy maintained that he still holds great respect for his former mentor. He emphasised his openness to resolving their issues, demonstrating a willingness to move past the long-standing tension.

Kelvynboy is doing the right thing
Kelvyn Boy opens up about his feud with Stonebwoy, says he has attempted to make peace with him for 5 years
Music journalist Gabriel Myers Hansen, who shared his thoughts on Kelvynboy's interview with YEN.com.gh, described the singer's efforts as commendable.
For Myers Hansen, this was the right approach, as the supposed "beef" between them was neither necessary nor beneficial.
"It is not as if they are rivals in the same genre or something like that. They attract different sets of listeners, so animosity is not needed. And for their past relationship, it is only proper that they at least be on talking terms, especially with Kelvynboy, the mentee, trying to pacify his mentor. It is now up to Stonebwoy to reciprocate for them to quash whatever that was between them," he said.
