“My younger brother and I ain’t as nice as we used to be”- Samini on relationship with Stonebwoy

Award-winning Reggae/Dancehall artiste, Samini has in an interview on Joy FM, shed some light on the relationship between him and his protégé Stonebwoy now.

According to the “Linda” hitmaker, their relationship is not as it used to be following their little scuffle a year ago.

“I can honestly say on Joy FM that I’m too old to sit here and lie or throw dust in people’s eyes or fake. Me and my younger brother ain’t as nice as we used to be as I used to know him because of certain occurrences I did not expect during or along the line in our careers and he had become independent and I was also still A-list,” Samini said.

Stonebwoy had alleged that his mentor, Samini was not there for him at a time he needed him the most. However, Samini has denied his claims while sharing some details of all the times that he has been there for him.

“He has a way of linking me on a message and I have a way of telling him to cool down, maybe don’t talk too much on radio, maybe do this, maybe do that so if I know that me and you have that rapport and I hear you on radio say that when you need me I’m not there it hurts, it makes me sick and break down like he is saying this just to keep the thing going? Or is he saying that because now I don’t know what’s happening but it looks as if I’m part of  the thing then he doesn’t look as prominent in the room anymore because I didn’t get that response. I let that slide then the main clash itself happened and you are on stage then Wale goes to select one of my songs then you take the mic and go like if you are gonna select a song,” he shared.

Samini continued that he was hurt about the whole situation and would share more details about it in the future.

“Those were the things that hurt, because I don’t know how or where I sold out Stonebwoy. If you hadn’t done that interview Sani B and you know that I have messages that prove that I’ve been there for you. I have done radio interviews based on what you’ve told me, I message a radio DJ and tell him to out me on I want to talk about my guy’s thing based on messages you’ve sent me backdoor that I beg if you don’t say anything it is not looking good. So someone like that if you go back on air and say I’ve not been there for you thinking I don’t have a mouth to come and say anything one fine day I will sit on Joy and also get emotional I will probably spill a bit of it like I’m spilling now.”

Before Stonebwoy went independent and formed his own Burniton Music Group, he was mentored under Samini’s High-Grade Family.
