Ghanaian dancehall star Stonebwoy has disclosed that the political use of his hit song Jejereje during the 2024 general elections led to significant professional setbacks.
According to him, the NDC's decision to remix the Jejereje as a campaign song led to a fallout with his record label and damage to his public image.

Speaking in an interview with Saddick Adams on Angel FM on Wednesday, March 25, 2026, the award-winning musician explained that the controversy created tension between him and his then-label, which believed he had deliberately aligned himself with a political campaign.
He stated that the label assumed that the song had been produced for political purposes and that he had received compensation, an allegation he strongly denied.
He added that the misunderstanding left him unable to defend himself amid widespread public narratives, eventually leading to a separation from the label.
The artiste stressed that Jejereje was created as a festive track intended for the December season and not for any political agenda.
However, its adoption during the heated election period significantly altered public perception of the song and his brand.
Despite the NDC's use of his song, he was dropped from the lineup of performers for the Ghana Victory Concert held on January 5, 2025, an event organised to celebrate the electoral success of the party in the 2024 elections, following a viral social media push under the hashtag #DropStonebwoy.
The campaign, driven by some supporters, reportedly accused the musician of being affiliated with the New Patriotic Party (NPP), leading to backlash and calls for his exclusion.
Stonebwoy noted that he was not given a clear explanation for the decision, adding that the episode contributed to the spread of negative claims about him at the time.

Reactions to Stonebwoy's claims about NDC's Jejereje
The explanation of Stonebwoy about the NDC and the Jejereje song triggered mixed reactions.
Below are some of the reactions YEN.com.gh sighted.
Ayam_Bornbless1
"Why is he lying? Pictures and videos showed he was in a very close connection with the NPP big men, and even the grassroots know his affiliation. So why is he making it seem like the NDC used his song and then dropped him? When did he ever publicly declare ‘Jejereje’."
Abdul Rauf Ibrahim
"He already told us he is a strong member of the NDC. Why all this rubbish talk again? The NPP will never forget."
Kofi Appiah-Danquah said:
"However, the critical question here is, what's the laid-down structure of handling his work? What's the chain of command as to how his work is given out for promotion, publicity, etc.? By the way, was he compensated for the use of the song?"
MADE IT said:
"Ah, but Stone, you openly admitted you contributed to the Jejereje song some few days back."
