Socialite Efia Odo has issued a public apology to renowned Ghanaian artiste Stonebwoy for derogatory comments she made during the 2024 Telecel Ghana Music Awards. In May 2024, social media was buzzing with debates over who deserved the prestigious TGMA Artiste of the Year Award. Amidst the discussions, Efia Odo, a vocal supporter of King Promise, referred to Stonebwoy as “old” and suggested he should step aside for younger artistes like King Promise, who she felt had achieved more recently.

However, on the July 27, 2024, edition of United Showbiz, Efia Odo admitted her mistake and expressed regret for her words, attributing them to her strong emotions as a fan of King Promise.

“In the moment, for me, when I’m a fan of someone, I go hard for the person. What I said to Stonebwoy, calling him an old man and all that, was wrong. I admit it,” she confessed to MzGee, the show’s host.

She acknowledged Stonebwoy’s significant contributions to the music industry, ranking him among the top artistes in Ghana. Efia Odo also expressed that she believes Stonebwoy deserves recognition beyond the Ghana Music Awards and should aim for international accolades like the Grammys.

“What I wanted to really say is that I see you to be bigger than Ghana Music Awards. I see you to be bigger than the platforms they’re giving you,” she explained.

Taking full responsibility for her actions, Efia Odo apologized for letting her emotions get the better of her while defending King Promise.

“It was very wrong. It was disrespectful. You’ve not done anything wrong to me. But in the defence of King Promise, because I was, like, a huge fan of King Promise, emotions took over, but how I said it was absolutely wrong, and I take full accountability. I’m very sorry,” she concluded.
