Former black stars player, Prince Tagoe has opened up about his close relationship with multiple award-winning dancehall artiste Stonebwoy.
Speaking amid swirling rumours of a rift between the two, the ex-Hearts of Oak star revealed how their brotherhood was forged and nurtured long before fame cemented Stonebwoy’s place in Ghana’s music scene.
Aside from encouragement, he contributed tangible resources to boost Stonebwoy’s rising career, often lending his vehicles for concerts and, notably, music video productions.
According to him, his acts of generosity were inspired by a deep conviction in Stonebwoy’s talent and an unwavering fraternal connection.
Speaking in an interview with Accra FM, he said “I came in and support. Because of the belief I had in him, and I came in to let him feel, say, Charlie, you can do it,”
At a time when Stonebwoy’s presence on bigger platforms was yet to be felt, Tagoe made luxury accessible.
“So at that time, I mean, you see Stonebwoy will come to Accra Sports Stadium for a show driving a Porsche. So, I just released all my cars to him and Black Cedi anytime they want to go anywhere,” he revealed.
Despite the support stretching beyond transportation. He generously offered his East Legon home as a base for Stonebwoy during crucial periods, including the lead-up to his historic win at the 2015 TGMA (then Vodafone Ghana Music Awards), where he clinched the coveted Artiste of the Year award.
But in the end, the artiste their relationship weaken overtime to the extent that Stonebwoy had unfollowed him on Instagram, yet he insisted there were no hard feelings on his part, recognising the unpredictable tides that often come with fame and success.
