According to him, he believes somebody intentionally switched off the microphone, which was unprofessional.

“I was telling them that this is our last song, DJ Mensah even if there is any issue, first of all you do not have come to speak to me to cut our performance, I didn’t come to work for you, speak to the organisers, they are the ones putting us together,” he said.

Chief Stylz added “I think somebody passed a message to Angelo (Sarkodie’s Manager) down there that Mensah had issues, he didn’t know it was me and he rushed onto the stage to check what was going on, Stone had also finished at the same time so we met by the staircase. “

He said Aneglo informed Stonebwoy about the situation that had happened, “and in front of them I told Angelo Mensah was the one behind.”

“When we left the stage I sent Mensah a message, it is between me and him, we will sort it out, he is a friend and a brother, we are all working for artistes and looking for their interest, but we should find a way around it,” Chief Stylz added.

Chief Abiola concluded by blaming the coordination, leading to confusion at some point backstage.
