In a related development, Stonebwoy has sued Baba Sadiq for defamation
The Ghana Police Service has reportedly extended an invitation to the reigning Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA) Artiste of the Year, Stonebwoy, for allegedly making threats of harm against Baba Sadiq Abu, the National Democratic Congress parliamentary candidate for Okaikoi South.
This action follows a report filed by Baba Sadiq at the Mile 7 Police Station in Accra, on June 7, 2024.
Baba Sadiq claims that he received a call from Stonebwoy prior to the TGMA, during which call, the artiste expressed reservations about Baba Sadiq's support for another artiste in the Artiste of the Year category.
"When he called, he questioned me and sought to find out if I was content with the happenings on social media. Before I could fully articulate my response, he warned me, 'if we meet physically, I should maintain the same energy,' which, given his tone and reputation, I interpreted as a threat of physical harm," Baba Sadiq wrote in his statement to the police.
He also stated that during a rehearsal for the TGMA, Stonebwoy's manager attacked an acquaintance who was seated next to him.
The police have reportedly requested Stonebwoy to appear at the Mile 7 Police Station on Monday, June 10, 2024, for questioning.
In a related development, Stonebwoy has filed a defamation lawsuit against Baba Sadiq at an Accra High Court.
The lawsuit, filed on May 31, 2024, seeks a court order for Baba Sadiq to remove several posts from X (formerly Twitter) and to impose a fine of GH₵3 million on the defendant for the alleged damage caused to Stonebwoy’s reputation.
