Following the NDC's decision to drop Stonebwoy from their election victory concert, one of the reasons given for the development was that a section of NDC supporters expressed dissatisfaction, citing speculation about his alleged ties to the opposing New Patriotic Party (NPP).

However, many netizens have pointed to the possibility that Baba Sadiq, Stonebwoy’s nemesis, could be the mastermind behind the situation.

Baba Sadiq, an influential figure in the entertainment industry and the NDC Parliamentary candidate for Okaikoi Central, has had a long-standing feud with Stonebwoy throughout 2024, and they are currently not on good terms.

Some netizens predicted that when the NDC finally comes to power, Stonebwoy may not be favoured under the administration, as Baba Sadiq, an active member of the party, could go to great lengths to block his opportunities.

Currently contesting the Okaikoi Central seat in court, some netizens have speculated that things could worsen for Stonebwoy if Baba Sadiq eventually becomes an MP or even the creative arts minister under the John Mahama-led government.

Amid these speculations, the recent decision to drop Stonebwoy from the NDC’s upcoming concert has led many to believe that the ‘sabotage’ of Stonebwoy's career may have already begun.

The Rift Between Baba Sadiq and Stonebwoy

The feud between Baba Sadiq and Stonebwoy began when Stonebwoy failed to show up at Baba Sadiq’s 3Music Sallahfest event, citing a breach of contract.

Stonebwoy explained that there was an earlier agreement with Baba Sadiq not to share flyers for the concert because it was a charitable event and not a paid one.

However, Stonebwoy claimed that Baba Sadiq went ahead and shared the flyers, leading him to cancel his participation just days before the concert.

On the other hand, Baba Sadiq explained that Stonebwoy didn’t show up because he was unhappy that his music rival, Shatta Wale, was also billed to perform at the same event.

The Artiste of the Year saga

Baba Sadiq further escalated his feud with Stonebwoy during the 2024 Telecel Ghana Music Awards, where he campaigned vigorously against Stonebwoy, tipping King Promise for the "Artiste of the Year" title.

Baba Sadiq argued that Stonebwoy didn’t deserve the award, claiming that King Promise, his key contender, was more deserving.

He took to social media and appeared on radio and TV discussion platforms to publicly support King Promise for the win while disparaging Stonebwoy’s achievements in the year under review.

The alleged threat and Baba Sadiq’s rants

As the online tension between the two went on, Baba Sadiq alleged that Stonebwoy had placed a call to his wife, threatening her to "keep him in check."

Baba Sadiq expressed his displeasure, saying that Stonebwoy had disrespected his wife by involving her in their feud.

Further rants, allegations, and lawsuit

Baba Sadiq intensified his attacks, describing Stonebwoy’s public personality as a "facade" and alleging that the BHIM Nation boss was a "privately horrible and arrogant person."

He also accused Stonebwoy of being a "violent abuser of women."

In response to these allegations, Stonebwoy filed a lawsuit against Baba Sadiq, seeking GH¢3 million in damages for defamation.

Baba Sadiq, on the other hand, remained resolute and expressed no regret for his actions or statements.
