Ghanaian dancehall musician, Stonebwoy has responded to public calls for him to feature hiplife legend, Screwfaze on a remix of his viral song ‘Jejereje,’ explaining why the collaboration will not happen.
Stonebwoy mentioned that a remix of ‘Jejereje’ song with Skrewfaze will not earn him any commercial gains.
He noted that even though he has planned to do remixes of the song, he will make sure the project does not just satisfy some people’s wishes but rather consider what financial benefit, he will rake in from it.
“When the song came out a lot of people mentioned Skrewfaze and he was even happy about it and even did a video. But Portfolio made a statement; the industry is big. Maybe you see it from a fan’s point of view. But if you break it down, it will just be for the niceness of it. Because I have already planned to do a lot of remixes.
“But [for the Skrewfaze feature] it will not bring any further commercial factor in the geographical location where we find ourselves. If I had called him for a feature it would just be for the niceness.”

According to Stonebwoy, he has heard people talk about the fact that he should have a remix of ‘Jejereje’ song with Skrewfaze. “It is a good idea but adding him to the song will not add any commercial factor to the song,” he added.
He noted that he does not solely make decisions on who to put on his songs; there is a whole management that is involved.
Stonebwoy further intimated that just a lot of artists jumped on the song and did their renditions, he believes Skrewfaze could have done the same without being contacted by Stonebwoy or his team.
“If that [the song] sparks the energy of a legend, the easiest thing to do is to do a version on the beat at that moment if you wanted to because it is just a week less, we were not going to now reach out. I think I commented and reposted.”

Stonebwoy’s thought on the remix is in tandem with a similar opinion which was shared by Master of Ceremonies and media personality, MC Portfolio a few weeks ago when the song was released.
When the song was released in September 2024, Skrewfaze did a live video suggesting that some of his fans had asked him to add his verse to the song. However, he thought as a “legend”, Stonebwoy had to call him if he needed him on the song.
Skrewfaze’s name came up strongly in the remix conversations because Stonebwoy’s ‘Jejereje’ which features guitarist Ginton, bears a striking likeness to Skrewfaze type of songs.
The ‘Gbalagazaa’ hitmaker who has been in the music industry for over two decades, is known for such high-tempo Francophone-induced songs.
