Popular Ghanaian Disc Jockey cum media personality, DJ Slim has expressed disappointment in dancehall artiste Stonebwoy for stating that he did not create his latest album, Up and Running, with the Grammys in mind.

Reacting to Stonebwoy’s stance, DJ Slim questioned why an artiste of his caliber would not intentionally aim for such a prestigious platform.

“I was so disappointed in Stonebwoy on that day. What is wrong with targeting the Grammys with a project? Or was he afraid that if he stated he was targeting the Grammys and didn’t get a nomination, he would be ridiculed?” he asked.

Stonebwoy had earlier mentioned that while it is good to qualify for awards, he does not create music with the sole intention of winning them.

“I do not really do music targeting an award scheme. It is good when you qualify, etc., but I don’t think it makes sense to think that I am doing this particular album for the Grammys," Stonebwoy stated.

DJ Slim, however, argued that setting such goals does not diminish an artiste’s credibility but rather pushes them to strive for excellence. He urged Ghanaian musicians to boldly pursue global recognition instead of downplaying the significance of international awards.
