Hiplife grandpapa, Reggie Rockstone, has issued a stark warning about what he describes as a crippling wave of unnecessary rivalries tearing through Ghana’s music industry.
Speaking on Starr Chat with Bola Ray on November 272025, the genre pioneer said years of feuds, fractured alliances, and ego battles have left the industry too divided to command respect—especially when engaging corporate bodies.
“Let me begin with my own people. We ourselves are so divided that we don’t have a united front to even go sit with these folks. We are so fragmented. Every day, you hear that this person and that person are beefing,” he lamented.
Rockstone didn’t spare fans either, accusing them of stoking tensions and fuelling conflicts that cripple collaboration.
“Everybody, including the fans who are the major people fuelling these feuds, is to blame,” he charged.
When asked whether he had made attempts to bridge the rifts, the Hiplife legend said he has been working tirelessly—and quietly—to bring artistes together.
“Almost everybody. I have always been working behind the scenes to bring people together,” he revealed.
For him, the path to unity is clear: education, awareness, and a shared commitment to collective progress.
“We need to let them know that we are all in this together. That if I eat, you will also eat.”
Rockstone also called on the government to pay serious attention to youth development, while urging musicians to clean up their own house.
“To the government, pay attention to the youth. And in the same breath, I’m talking to my own people saying, get your act together,” he pressed.
