Hiplife veteran Obofour defends Skrewfaze’s legendary status, urges critics to respect his hardwork

Veteran Hiplife musician Obofour has agreed to his fellow Hiplife artiste, Skrewfaze’s legendary status claim as the latter recently declared.

Skrewfaze declared himself a legend in Ghana’s music industry in a recent post on TikTok.

This was after fans had drawn his attention to Stonebwoy’s new hit, ‘Jejereje’ asking him to join Stonebwoy for a remix.

The fans noted that the song’s sound was reminiscent of Skrewfaze’s music from his earlier days.

Skrewfaze, in a response, said a protocol had to be honoured if a remix would materialise because “I can’t just wake up and jump on the song just like that”.

“You have to know I’m also a big boy, I’m a legend,” he explained. “I, also, respect myself as an artiste and I expect same. If he or his team gives me a call, why not? If they don’t call, we just enjoy the vibe [song].”

The US-based music performer acknowledged: “The song is beautiful, this Jejereje. Big up Stonebwoy!”

However, some music fans on X challenged Skrewfaze’s self-acclaimed legendary status, arguing that he was only a one-hit wonder.

Responding to such opinions, UK-based Ghanaian music executive and veteran Hiplife musician Obofuor Raphael criticised Skrewfaze’s detractors, outlining Skrewfaze’s legacy in Ghana music history.

“Those bashing Skrewfaze on X because he sees himself as a legend are naturally “idioticals” without apology. This is a gentleman who has done more than 400 features and loads of them became a hit. He took the featuring spot baton from Samini in 2004 courtesy of Castro’s Boneshaker. Let’s respect that gentleman’s hardwork. Allow! Apart from everything, he has manners [more] than most of your favourite artists,” the Ruffy Records CEO said.
