Show proof in 24 hours or face the law - Vida warns artiste over Stonebwoy song theft claims

Vida Adutwumwaa Boateng, Head of Public Relations at Stonebwoy’s Burniton Music Group, has challenged musician Maddy Maz to provide evidence to support her claim that Stonebwoy stole her song or be prepared to face legal action.

In a video shared on her social media page on July 20, 2026, Vida Adutwumwaa expressed concerns about what she described as a pattern in which some individuals and groups allegedly create controversy around Stonebwoy whenever he has an upcoming event.

According to her, such claims create unnecessary distractions for the artiste and his team, adding that they have become tired of what she described as negative and untrue reports.

“There are some lesser demons in this country. Every time there is an upcoming Stonebwoy event, these people spread false news. It's about time we said we are tired of these negative and untrue stories. We wanted to use someone as a scapegoat, and someone has fallen into the trap,” she said.

Vida explained that as the Public Relations Head of Burniton Music Group, failing to respond to such allegations could create the impression that the controversies are part of a planned public relations strategy aimed at promoting Stonebwoy’s shows.

She stressed that Stonebwoy’s brand and achievements are built on quality and not publicity stunts.

“If we do not address it, someone will sit back and claim those fake stories and reports are part of our PR strategy to promote our shows. But when it comes to Stonebwoy, our quality speaks for itself. We don't do stunts here, and that is why we want to set the record straight on this particular story,” Vida noted.

The Head of Public Relations at Burniton Music Group further responded directly to Maddy Maz, who alleged that Stonebwoy copied her song and featured Jamaican musician Spice on it.

Vida questioned the basis of Maddy Maz’s claim and insisted that she could not make allegations that would damage Stonebwoy’s reputation without providing evidence.

“Where exactly do you go way back with Stonebwoy? You see what you have started; we will deal with it squarely. You cannot just get up and tarnish the image of an artiste like Stonebwoy and go scot-free. The song you claim you sent to Stonebwoy, I want to know through what means you sent that track. Have you ever had Stonebwoy’s contact in any way?” Vida questioned.

She further dared Maddy Maz to provide proof of any communication or interaction she had with Stonebwoy regarding the song, warning that the matter could become a legal issue if she failed to substantiate her claims.

“I am daring you, let me know where you met Stonebwoy. Bring the evidence to prove that you ever communicated with Stonebwoy to the point where you sent your work to him for review. Maddy Maz, we are waiting for the proof of your correspondence with Stonebwoy because, as I speak to you now, you need to gather your evidence. You will face the law for this,” she added.

Background

Fast-rising musician Maddy Maz, in an interview with Nana Romeo, alleged that she sent one of her songs to Stonebwoy. Still, the Dancehall artiste later copied elements of the song and featured Jamaican musician Spice on a similar track.

She claimed that because Stonebwoy considers her a less established artiste, he took inspiration from her work and used it for his own project featuring the international artiste.
