Stonebwoy can fill The O2 arena – Heavy D
Heavy D has said after “three to six months’ promotion,” Stonebwoy can fill the 20,000-capacity O2 arena in London, UK.
“Stonebwoy has done music with Angelique Kidjo, he can pull it off,” he stressed.
He considered other Ghanaian music stars who can fill the iconic venue.
“Even Shatta Wale by himself can pull it off,” he said. “Yeah, he has the hits. He’s a tough guy.”
For Sarkodie, he opined, “it’d be a bit tough for him singlehandedly,” intimating it was a matter of “mass-appeal”.
In Heavy D’s opinion, singers have a better chance at gathering huge numbers than rappers.
“Musically, I’d say Stonebwoy has much more versatility in that area. You see, Sarkodie is a rapper. I’m talking about versatility and there’s a little advantage [singers have over rappers] in that [area],” he argued.
The music and events executive implied Sarkodie would need help from other acts to fill the O2 Arena, saying: “As a headliner, he can fill it.”
He emphasised when he earlier said: “Anything is possible. It’s just a matter of promotion and marketing.”
“In my opinion, however, it will be much easier for Stonebwoy than him,” he said.
He advised musicians to design annual events at international venues so “you grow the following from there” and “maybe in a year or two, you can pull it [O2 and others] off”.
The former Joy FM star, Heavy D spoke to Prince Benjamin (PB) on Accra 100.5 FM's Entertainment Capital.
