Stella Seal claims Ghanaians don't respect veterans
Stella Aba Seal has openly stated that the young people in the entertainment industry don't respect trailblazers. She highlighted that many young musicians use her songs without seeking her permission.

Stella Aba Seal pointed out that the problem is indicative of a larger social issue in Ghana. She maintained that recognising pioneers is not ingrained in the country's culture and that this is the case in all creative industries.
"This universe is governed by physical, spiritual, and universal rules, all of which are effective. The rules in the air will take care of you if I remain silent. The laws that God has put in place will still apply if I say 'hmm'.
What you sow is what you will reap is one of the laws. Karmic laws apply. No matter how often you use grace, pray, or speak in tongues, karma will eventually catch up with you. Tomorrow, if not today, then."

Stella Seal claims veteran musicians are ignored
Stella Aba Seal also claimed that veteran actors and entertainers are considered attention seekers within the industry.
She emphasised that when the elderly in the entertainment industry try to correct the youth on how to relate with veterans, they claim the intention is to trend.
The Odo Moroso hitmaker added that the veteran singers have laid the foundation for the youth and paved the way for their benefits.
She also voiced her displeasure with the way young musicians manage the use of classic songs:
"Some don't call before using your song, while others record first and just let the owners know when they're ready to be released. There are times when you just realise that they've already done it without your consent. We have done a lot of education on telling people to appreciate us after inviting us because we pay for our recordings ourselves."
