Celebrated Ghanaian Reggae and Dancehall artiste, Stonebwoy has addressed speculation surrounding a potential remix of his song “Jejereje” featuring fellow artist Skrewfaze, explaining why he believes a collaboration wouldn’t be beneficial beyond its novelty.
Speaking with Nana Ama McBrown on Onua Showtime on Sunday, November 3, 2024, the reining VGMA Artiste of the Year clarified his stance, noting that a remix with Skrewfaze “would only be for the niceness of it.” Despite the interest from fans, he emphasized that such a collaboration lacks commercial appeal in the current market.
“If I had called him for a feature, it would just be for the niceness. But for the Skrewfaze feature, it will not bring any further commercial factor in the geographical location where we find ourselves,” he stated.
The crooner further highlighted the practical considerations behind his music projects, stressing the importance of aligning with his management to assess commercial potential.
“I have planned to do a lot of remixes,” he shared. “But with Skrewfaze, I would rather consider commercial factors than just satisfying some people’s wish,” he said.
Stonebwoy also acknowledged that Skrewfaze’s name had come up often among fans due to the song’s sound, which resonated with Skrewfaze’s earlier music style. However, he added that he does not solely decide on his collaborations, as his management plays a role in these decisions to ensure they are strategically beneficial.
Reflecting on Skrewfaze’s position, Stonebwoy suggested that artists could take the initiative to release their own versions if inspired by another’s work. “If that (the song) sparks the energy of a legend, the easiest thing to do is to do a version on the beat in that moment if you wanted to because it is just a week less,” he said, noting that he had previously shown his support for Skrewfaze by sharing his content on social media.
