In a lengthy social media post, the award-winning DJ recounted the horrific experience and expressed dismay at the lack of professionalism from Stonebwoy’s team.
He said he was playing some Wale songs, which the crowd was loving until he was ordered to stop.
“At the behest of Stonebwoy’s management, I was instructed to cease playing Shatta Wale’s music immediately. Can you imagine? Given my background as a DJ, this is obviously disrespectful and unprofessional.,” DJ Lord OTB wrote.
DJ Lord bemoaned the act, arguing no headline act should have sway over what a DJ plays. He added that Stonebwoy’s team made another misstep when they jumped in to take over another artist’s allotted time.
“This isn’t just about me feeling disrespected. There are much bigger problems here. Artist managements keep overstepping their boundaries, acting like they’re in charge of everything. DJs and MCs keep getting treated as unimportant, even though we’re the ones who keep the energy going and make sure events run smoothly,” DJ Lord said. “And worst of all, personal beef between artists is now being used to control what music gets played at events, which just makes the whole industry look petty,”
He added that until all these trivial matters are solved and professionalism is restored, Ghana’s music industry would remain in the doldrums.
