The excitement that followed Sarkodie’s Rapperholic 2025 in Kumasi did not remain focused solely on the host. Instead, social media chatter unexpectedly drew Stonebwoy into the spotlight, sparking debate over his intentions.
As fans celebrated Sarkodie’s triumphant night, an old post resurfaced comparing his show to Stonebwoy’s 2023 BHIM Concert. The post featured a clip of Stonebwoy performing, paired with a lyric from one of his songs: “Ah never go tell dem to fake it till they make it, ah rasta tell them to practise and perfect it.”
