Sonebwoy’s 1GAD stirs up controversies.
It can be recalled that Stonebwoy released his first song for the year just two months ago. Stonebwoy illustrated his journey to stardom in the track titled, ‘1GAD’.
The track, produced by Streetbeatz, journeys through the BET- award-winning;artist’s life and times making his way up the music ladder. The infectious dancehall track discusses the intense;and personal subject matter while staying connected and communicating a message that many can see themselves in.
However, the song’s title, ‘1GAD’ brought about several controversies;and at a point a heated argument on social media as to who the real king is when;it comes to dancehall music in Ghana.
It can be recalled that in January 2021, Shatta Wale released his first single for the year titled ‘1Don’. Then in February, Stonebwoy released ‘1GAD’. Social media users especially Shatta Wale’s fans were in a frenzy as they said that Stonebwoy was copying Shatta Wale.
However, Stonebwoy disclosed that he originally recorded the song;in early 2020, but for the advent of COVID, he would’ve released the song in that year.
Nonetheless, this controversy brought about a challenge on social media as to who has the best nickname; with Stonebwoy as 1GAD, Shatta Wale as 1DON, and Samini as 1King. Following this, Stonebwoy took to social media and wrote: “There’s only;1GAD, so many kings and so many Dons, example Don Bortey”.
