Derrick Appiah, a real estate developer, claims that Stonebwoy, the dancehall performer, threatened his life during a commercial deal. The businessman claims that the musician threatened to murder him when he chose to conduct business with Stonebwoy’s wife, Louisa, rather than with him directly. He claims that Stonebwoy refused to pay him his agent fee for a prior deal because of Stonebwoy.
The terms of their agreement required Stonebwoy to pay him a commission of 5%, he said in an interview with blogger Attractive Mustapha, but the performer refused to uphold his end of the bargain. “As part of the agreement, Stonebwoy was supposed to pay me 5% out of $440,000 as a commission but he refused to fulfill his part of the agreement by first reducing the agent fee from 5% to 2% which is $8,800,” he told Attractive Mustapha. Instead of giving me the 2% $8800, he gave me $500 so I returned the money to him and asked him to pay my money in full because it was supposed to be 5% but for peace’s sake, I reluctantly agreed to take the 2%. “Again, Stonebwoy decided to give me $500 instead of the 2% exactly and told me that if I don’t take the $500 he won’t give me any additional money.” He declared that as a result, he would no longer interact directly with the artist.
“So, I replied that when they contacted me to search for a house for them to buy, I was initially dealing with his wife and not him, he then angrily told me that if I mention his wife’s name again it will be grave and prison.” Additionally, he noted that despite reporting the event to the East Legon Police station, he received no helpful reaction. In the interview, he admitted that he “rented a house to him peacefully and afterward sold his current place of residence to him in 2019,” Derrick admitted to Mustapha that working with famous people to buy homes and apartments had been a successful business venture for him.
He acknowledged that some of them are challenging to handle, though. He said that because we are all human and have flaws, he finds characters like them to be realistic.
