Baba Sadiq Defends Actions in Legal Dispute with Stonebwoy Former manager of Ghanaian dancehall artist Stonebwoy, Baba Sadiq, has publicly shared his account of events leading up to their ongoing legal dispute. Sadiq, who was recently sued by Stonebwoy for breach of contract and accounting irregularities, released a statement on social media claiming that the allegations against him were “falsehoods.” Sadiq’s Version of Events According to Sadiq, the legal battle stemmed from a disagreement over the distribution of funds generated from Stonebwoy’s concerts and endorsements. He explained that he had always been transparent with the artist’s finances and provided regular statements of account. Sadiq alleged that Stonebwoy and his new team had made “baseless accusations” to tarnish his reputation and damage his career. He claimed that he had never misappropriated any funds or breached the terms of their management agreement. Dispute Over Concert Proceeds The core of the dispute centers on the distribution of proceeds from Stonebwoy’s concerts in Tamale and Sunyani in 2022. Sadiq stated that he had paid Stonebwoy his agreed-upon share but had retained a portion of the proceeds to cover expenses such as transportation, accommodation, and production costs. Stonebwoy, however, claimed that he had not received his full share and that Sadiq had provided him with inaccurate accounting records. Legal Proceedings The legal proceedings are currently ongoing, with both parties seeking damages and legal costs. Sadiq has expressed confidence that he will be vindicated and that his reputation will be restored. Public Reaction The public reaction to Sadiq’s statement has been mixed, with some expressing support for his version of events while others remain skeptical. The dispute has also raised questions about the relationship between artists and their managers in the music industry. As the legal battle continues, it remains to be seen how the court will rule on the allegations and whether Sadiq will be able to clear his name from the accusations against him.Music Entrepreneur Baba Sadiq Shares His Side of the Story in Legal Battle with StonebwoyMusic Entrepreneur Baba Sadiq Shares His Side of the Story in Legal Battle with Stonebwoy In an interview on 3FM, music entrepreneur Baba Sadiq revealed the origins of his ongoing legal battle with Reggae/Dancehall artist Stonebwoy.
