The many death prophecies in the country right now seems to be driving everyone crazy.

Each day now comes with a new death prophecy of a that celebrity or another.

Weeks back, we reported that controverisal dancehall artiste, Shatta Wale had threatened to burn down churches.

His reason being that some ‘men of God’ have prophesied that he won’t live beyond 2018.

Upon hearing the news, the King of the Shatta Movement Empire went live on Facebook to caution these ‘Prophets’.

According to the ‘Freedom’ hitmaker, if he’s still alive by December 2018, he was going to burn down churches of these ‘Prophets’ together with his SM militants.

Many were in support of him whilst a few thought Shatta was as usual his ‘loud’ self again.

Responding to the threat, Stonebwoy, speaking on Hitz Fm Thursday, said Shatta Wale’s actions were disrespectful.

Stonebwoy speaks;

“In my opinion, that is overly disrespectful… that is too disrespectful to say ‘you go’ burn down churches. That means you are going beyond prophecy to burn down churches”. he told host, Prince Tsegah.

Meanwhile, it seems the ‘Taking Over’ hitmaker is taking steps behind the scenes to avert the looming prophecy despite his ‘hard face’ in public.

Awards-winning dancehall and reggae artiste, Stonebwoy has explained the meaning and rationale behind his brand’s name ‘BHIM.’

He was speaking on the latest edition of UTV’s ATUU show with host Abeiku Santana.

Stonebwoy explained that ‘BHIM’ is a sound that is geared towards awakening one’s spirit.

According to him, the word “BHIM” serves as an inspirational word which awakens and strengthens him to go about his daily activities in a peaceful manner.

The ‘My Name’ crooner made this revelation when Abeiku asked him; “What’s the meaning of “BHIM” you mention in your songs?”

“It is a sound that awakens the spirit. When you hear me mention “BHIM” in my songs, it’s that sound that kicks you up.”

“Also, as a word, it has a spelling broken down to mean sometime so inspirational which I see as my mantra. Bless His Imperial Majesty.”

“Imperial Majesty is the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings. Meaning we thank God for everything,” the Dancehall artiste answered.

Award-winning dancehall artiste Stonebwoy has revealed that if he is to be called into the bosom of the Lord now he would be celebrated as a hero.

The artiste made the claim at his “Ashaiman to the world” concert, held at the Ashaiman Saka Saka Park where he gave an electrifying performance at his concert alongside rival Shatta Wale. He disclosed that Ashaiman was a place worth dying for.

“Wherever I go, the first thing that, comes out of my mouth is Ashaiman, am not afraid, I don’t feel shy that I am an Ashaiman boy,” he said.

Stonebwoy expressed his pride in being a member of Ashaiman and assured that wherever he went he would announce all that Ashaiman is blessed with.

The C.E.O of Burniton Music Group was born and grew up in Ashaiman,(a large town in the Greater Accra Region and the capital of Ashaiman Municipal District) although he hails from Anloga in the Volta Region.

The personal manager to Stonebwoy, Mohammed Sidi aka Blakk Cedi has come to dispel certain rumours and claims surrounding the attack on Stonebwoy’s wife during the Ashaiman to the World Concert. As already posted, Stonebwoy’s wife was stabbed during his concert instead of him.
A lot of people have asked why the assault was not reported to the police. Sammy Flex, Head of Communications for Zylofon Media, said that the management did not report the case to the police because they thought it was a mere accident that befell the wife of the artiste and not necessarily an attempt by anyone to harm the artiste. Sammy also rebuffed claims that the story was a publicity stunt. “Why would he even do this when he has a big show with a huge crowd that even some political parties cannot pull,” he said.

Blakk Cedi took to Instagram to address the issues raised surrounding the incident. He posted,
“It is unfortunate that some on social media choose to blame the manager, Zylofon Media Security staff and the team around, but I hope that their assertions will not sow any seeds of discord among us. I feel that we have a very loyal and supportive staff and I pray that the team will remain cohesive and that no disharmony will stem from what happened to our queen. I want to believe the incident that happened at the venue was an accident rather than someone trying to assassinate or stab our artiste. It was all love on the night and all the numbers were present because of Stonebwoy. (now the big question is ,why will somebody try to take the life of Stonebwoy at a place where he’s got everybody there to defend him?). Security breaches occur even at the White House and Buckingham palace, so it could also happen at Sakasaka Park.”
