Bullgod hails Stonebwoy's musical impact
Speaking at the album listening party, Bullgod acknowledged Stonebwoy as the Ghana music industry's current biggest export on the international stage.
The artiste manager said that even though some Ghanaian artists are making significant strides, they have yet to reach the same level as the Burninton Music Group president.
"So far, he (Stonebwoy) is our biggest export from Ghana. There is nobody else. Others are trying. I am not saying nobody is trying, but so far, he is our biggest export."
Bullhaus label boss Bullgod also rallied support for Stonebwoy's continued breaking of barriers on the international music stage and promoting Ghanaian music beyond the country's borders.
He also applauded the Jejereje coroner, his manager, Chief Stylz, and other team members for their efforts in producing the Up and Runnin6 album for music lovers worldwide.
Yaw Boadu-Ayeboafoh weighs in on Bullgod's claims
In a conversation with YEN.com.gh, entertainment analyst Yaw Boadu-Ayeboafoh shared his thoughts on Bullgod's claims about Stonebwoy.
He said:
"I believe Stonebwoy is one of Ghanaβs biggest exports in terms of the volumes of collaborations he has had but to say he is far ahead of his colleagues is sadly not accurate. In terms of streams, the likes of Amaarae and Black Sheriff have the numbers, and in terms of shows, Santrofi and Amaarae are playing the most events internationally. So it was an inaccurate statement, but I agree Stonebwoy is still among our top musical exports."
