I’m 100% right – Tinny stands by comments in Stonebwoy feud over ¢2k debt
Musician Tinny insists his colleague Stonebwoy was in the wrong for paying off a ¢2,000 debt he supposedly owed a show promoter.
According to him, the ‘Therapy’ hitmaker did not have any right to settle the alleged debt especially when he had not spoken to him (Tinny) first.
Speaking on Daybreak Hitz on Hitz FM, TInny said that Stonebwoy could have ignored it when he heard the issue being discussed on the radio station back in May or chosen to address it off air.
The ‘Makola Kwakwe’ singer stated that he stands by the comments he made about a week ago while reacting to Stonebwoy’s gesture.
“I am 100% right to say that. I will be a fool to pay someone’s money without their knowledge. What shows the person is in trouble? Was I there? have I heard anything from them?”
Explaining what he would have done if the situation was reversed, Tinny said “Who said the brother is in trouble? Have I heard from the brother or anything you hear you take it? Also, who said I needed that help?”
This comes after Reggae/Dancehall artiste Stonebwoy said he was pained to hear colleague, Tinny insult him for paying off his alleged debt.
Stonebwoy said he felt sad after listening to Tinny because he made the payment without any malice intended.
The musician said he offered to help because he did not want the promoter to stretch the issue far more than he needed to
“Big respect to Tinny but his reason during the interview at the time that I didn’t call him before or after, is flawed. It doesn’t warrant for you to squeeze me in such a manner, insult my intelligence,” he said.
Background
Stonebwoy said he felt sad after listening to Tinny because he meant well and did not make the payment in any way to disrespect him.
Some months ago, an event promoter called out Tinny for supposedly refusing to refund GHS2,000 paid to him for a Valentine’s Day show at Worawora Afariwa Loungeon, which he failed to show up.
The promoter, in an interview on Hitz FM, remarked that “he [Tinny] told me he can’t pay the money so he has decided to use his car as collateral. I couldn’t drive the car to my house, so, I suggested we go to the Taifa Police Station for them to seize the car until I get my money and he agreed.”
Stonebwoy, when he heard of this during the same interview, voluntarily offered to pay his senior colleague’s supposed debt. But, Tinny, breaking his silence in an interview on Okay FM, Monday, said he is not impressed with the entire “clout chasing”.
Tinny described the claims by the event promoter and Stonebwoy’s willingness to pay as an act of foolery since no one reached out to him to verify the claims. He indicated that he saw Stonebwoy’s kindness as a façade.
Meanwhile, on Daybreak Hitz, Tinny insisted that Stonebwoy had no right to pay the show promoter before finding out the facts of the case.
But, Stonebwoy explained on Monday that at the time the show promoter was making his allegations against the hiplife artiste, he stated emphatically that the case was with the police.
“If someone says something is with the police, it is believable because it’s a legal institution, you can’t just lie on them, so that was one thing that made me think it was true, if he had mentioned anything else I wouldn’t have acted on the spot.”

In a landmark move to bridge the creative economies of Francophone and Anglophone Africa, the Republic of Congo has initiated a creative collaboration with Ghana.
The partnership was aimed at promoting Pan-African integration through film, culture, and shared storytelling.
Madam Claudia Yoka, a renowned filmmaker and Presidential Technical Advisor from the Republic of Congo led a delegation that included Ms. Monie Lek, a Congolese actress and Mr. Dymo Sow, a Francophone filmmaker for the event. 
The visit was facilitated and supported by the African Chamber of Content Producers (ACCP), which has been at the forefront of continental creative integration through initiatives such as the Africa Monologue Challenge and the Africa Image Ambassador Programme.
During her stay, Madam Yoka held high-level meetings with the Chief Executive Officer of the National Film Authority of Ghana, Madam Kafui Danku, as well as other key creative industry stakeholders, including veteran filmmaker Mr. Roger Quartey and award-winning filmmaker Madam Juliet Asante.
Madam Claudia Yoka revealed why the Republic of Congo turned its attention to Ghana, citing Ghana’s historic role in the development of Nigeria’s film industry as a key factor.
Ghanaian creatives, technicians, and institutions were instrumental in the early growth of Nollywood, and Congo now seeks to replicate that transformative impact.
“Ghana has proven that it knows how to build film industries. We have seen what Ghana did with Nigeria. Now we want Ghana to do the same with the Republic of Congo,” Madam Yoka said.
Madam Kafui Danku, CEO of the National Film Authority, expressed the readiness of the NFA and the Government of Ghana to facilitate any policy framework needed to ensure the success of the collaboration.
She noted that Ghana was committed to becoming a hub for continental creative partnerships and that the government would remove bureaucratic hurdles to enable seamless co-productions between Ghana and the Republic of Congo. -GNA
Ghanaian singer Enam showcases her command of traditional music and spiritual storytelling in ‘Modzi’, the latest visual installment from her ‘Afro Spiritual’ catalogue.
Before the official music video was released, Enam issued a short film that portrays her unwavering devotion to her sanctified faith, even as dark forces attempt to derail her destiny.
Shot by Marine World Studios and directed by Nani Sage, the film serves as a visual and sonic meditation on purpose, protection and spiritual alignment.
Rooted in African ancestral traditions, it captures a moment of transition, where preparation ends and calling begins.
It tells a story of walking a path believed to have been written long before.
The rising artiste draws heavily from the Yeweh shrine traditions of the Volta Region, a heritage that forms the backbone of her self-defined genre, ‘Afro Spiritual’.
The new ‘Modzi’ project, African sounds and dance‑ready rhythms, since its debut has been praised as one of the most thoughtfully curated releases in the country’s contemporary music landscape.
In the newly released Modzi video, Enam is seen riding a canoe along the river while participating in symbolic traditional rites in the forest.
The music video highlights striking images of Anloga culture, heritage monuments and communal rituals, positioning it as a potential contender for video of the year.
The new single is available on major digital music platforms, and the video is available on YouTube.
