Stonebwoy sues Baba Sadiq for defamation, demands GH₵3 million in damages

2024 Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA) Artiste of the Year, Livingstone Etse Satekla, popularly known as Stonebwoy, has sued the National Democratic Congress Parliamentary Candidate for Okaikwei South, Baba Sadiq Abu, for defamation of character.

The suit filed at an Accra High Court on May 31, 2024, is asking the court to order Baba Sadiq to delete several X (formerly Twitter) posts and to also impose a fine of GHC3 million on the defendant for damages caused to Stonebwoy’s reputation.

Ahead of the 2024 TGMA, Baba Sadiq who also doubles as an entertainment critic, embarked on a crusade for a contender to win the Artiste of the Year category ahead of the Afro-dancehall artiste.

In a social media banter, Baba Sadiq made several claims against Stonebwoy, accusing him of being a violent female abuser, among other issues.

He alleged that Stonebwoy had personally called his wife on phone to threaten her for campaigning against him.

Meanwhile, there are reports indicating that the Ghana Police Service has extended an invitation to Stonebwoy over a complaint lodged against him at the Mile 7 Police Station in Accra.

The invitation is said to be in relation to his alleged threats on Baba Sadiq and his wife.
