DJ Lord OTB Alleges Interference by Stonebwoy's Team at Guinness Accravaganza
A recent incident at the Guinness Accravaganza show has sparked controversy in the Ghanaian music industry. DJ Lord OTB, a prominent disc jockey, has made shocking allegations against Stonebwoy's team, claiming that they interfered with his performance and instructed him to stop playing Shatta Wale's songs.
According to DJ Lord OTB, the incident occurred on Saturday, March 29, 2025, during the Guinness Accravaganza show, where Stonebwoy was the headline act. DJ Lord OTB, who was also performing as the disc jockey on the night, claimed that Stonebwoy's team instigated the organisers to stop him from playing Shatta Wale's songs, despite the positive response from the audience.
The award-winning DJ expressed his disappointment and frustration, stating that no headline act should have the authority to dictate a DJ's song selection, especially when the artist in question is not performing. DJ Lord OTB's allegations have sparked a heated debate in the Ghanaian music industry, with many fans and industry insiders weighing in on the issue.
Stonebwoy's team has since denied any involvement in the incident, with the Burniton Music Group's PR Manager, Vida Adutwumwaa, dismissing the allegations as "a lie." However, DJ Lord OTB maintains that he was indeed instructed to stop playing Shatta Wale's songs by Stonebwoy's team.
This incident has raised questions about the level of control that headline acts have over the performances of other artists at music events. Many have argued that DJs should be allowed to play the songs that they feel will get the best response from the audience, without interference from other artists or their teams.
Others have pointed out that the rivalry between Stonebwoy and Shatta Wale may have played a role in the incident. The two artists have a well-documented history of tension, and some have speculated that Stonebwoy's team may have seen DJ Lord OTB's decision to play Shatta Wale's songs as a slight against their artist.
Regardless of the motivations behind the incident, it is clear that DJ Lord OTB's allegations have sparked a important conversation about the role of DJs and the level of control that headline acts have over music events.
In a series of posts on X (formerly Twitter), DJ Lord OTB expressed his frustration and disappointment, stating that he was "shocked" and "hurt" by the actions of Stonebwoy's team. He also claimed that the incident was not an isolated one, and that he had experienced similar interference from other artists in the past.
The incident has sparked a heated debate in the Ghanaian music industry, with many fans and industry insiders weighing in on the issue. While some have defended Stonebwoy's team, others have expressed support for DJ Lord OTB and criticized the actions of Stonebwoy's team.
As the debate continues, it is clear that this incident has raised important questions about the role of DJs and the level of control that headline acts have over music events. It remains to be seen how this incident will affect the relationship between DJs, artists, and event organisers in the Ghanaian music industry.
