Afro-dancehall superstar Livingstone Etse Satekla, known professionally as Stonebwoy, has taken aspiring politician and entertainment critic Sadiq Abdulai Abu, popularly known as Baba Sadiq, to court over comments made on his X page (formerly Twitter).
In a writ filed at the High Court of Justice on May 31, 2024, Stonebwoy, the reigning Ghanaian Artist of the Year, is demanding that Baba Sadiq delete the offending tweets and issue an unqualified apology.
Stonebwoy is also seeking GHS 3 million in damages, claiming that the tweets were maliciously intended to defame him and harm his reputation with false statements.
The lawsuit follows public concern on social media about Stonebwoy’s initial silence regarding Baba Sadiq’s troubling comments, which accused Stonebwoy of being a violent abuser of women.
These comments quickly went viral, sparking heated debates among fans and the public, especially given Stonebwoy’s history of advocating for women’s rights and leading philanthropic efforts to support women.
