Stonebwoy, who won Artiste of the Year at the 24th TGMA, has made clear that he and partner King Promise have no ill will.
Fans of the two artists debated the pair because they were thought to be strong candidates for the most prestigious prize.
King Promise later thanked Stonebwoy on X in a post following his Artiste of the Year victory.
His congratulations were received, but Stonebwoy did not reply, leading to rumors of a strained friendship between the two.
However, the Reggae Dancehall Artiste clarified in an interview that he is under no obligation to reply to King Promise.
He claimed to have received numerous communications of this type, to which he has not replied.
“Yes, King Promise congratulated me, I have seen it but I have not responded. I just saw it and I didn’t think to respond”, he told Andy Dosty on Daybreak Hitz.
“There are so many people who I’ve not responded to their congratulatory messages so I think it’s in that basket. Believe me, there is nothing attached to it at all. It’s nice to congratulate people and I am not that petty”, he said on Hitz FM and monitored by ATL FM.

Because Stonebwoy sees King Promise as his younger brother in the profession, he asked fans and internet users to avoid causing any friction between them.
“No, I plead and beg they do not take it that far, it’s no bad blood and I can never be seen that way with him”
“He is one of our junior brothers in the industry. When he did ‘hey sexy’ I remember I was travelling at that time, I had to pass by and shoot the video for him”, he stated.
“I do not believe I have any problem with my brother personally at all. We don’t play so I don’t want anybody to start creating anything. If anybody chooses to create anything, they will have to deal with it the way it is but I can’t get involved”, he added.
