    “There are other people who had stress from family. I did at some point. My wife was worried. In actual fact at a point, Bola had to call her personally because we’re family that Charlie we were going through a low tide and it’s not permanent we’ll overcome this. Bola had to call my wife,” he said.

    KOD stated that “I had some pressure from my wife Charlie. Some people are leaving, why are you still there? I’m like no I can’t do this. I can’t do this I believe in loyalty. I’d done 18 years at Radio Gold. Do you know what it was like at Radio Gold? Radio Gold is very political so when NDC is in power, they’re in a good place. When they’re in opposition they’re in a bad place. So in and out and I stayed for 18 years. I know how to deal with these things”.

    Since dancehall musician, Stonebwoy, unfollowed his protégé, Kelvyn Boy on Instagram, many questions have been asked about happenings in the BHIM Nation camp. Information gathered by JoyNews states that the team team for some time now has had disagreements pertaining to the management of artistes on the label.

    According source,  Blakk Cedi, Stonebwoy’s manager is being accused of allegedly mishandling funds of Stonebwoy. This has caused distrust between the artiste and his manager.

    Stonebwoy is also allegedly unhappy Blakk Cedi is focused on promoting Kelvyn Boy. The argument has, however, been raised that the ‘Tuff Seed’ hitmaker is an already established artiste hence it is important to give attention to the new artiste.

    After Stonebwoy unfollowed Kelvyn Boy, his next post suggested the artiste he had helped is being ungrateful. The incident has ignited rumours of Kelvyn Boy failing to acknowledge the push Stonebwoy has put in to grow his career.

    The sources added that although Blakk Cedi and Stonebwoy are usually on tour together, the former is already in Ghana while the later is still in London for the Shuga tour. There are reports that the duo has already parted ways.
