Public Relations Officer for Stonebwoy’s Burniton Music Group, Vida Adutwumwaa, has addressed the backlash surrounding her congratulatory message to King Promise following the 2025 Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA).

In her original post, Adutwumwaa commended King Promise on his win, stating:
“Congratulations King Promise, stay consistent. At least we've shown how it's done.”

However, some perceived her remarks as undermining King Promise's achievements.

Clarifying her intentions on United Showbiz on May 17, 2025, Adutwumwaa explained that her comments were not meant to belittle King Promise.

She stated that she was instead highlighting his sustained presence in the Artiste of the Year category, noting his nomination in 2024.

“I meant that he already had a level of consistency, so I wanted him to keep it up. Last year, he was in the conversation for Artiste of the Year, and he still is this year,” she said.

She added that her post was a reference to the trend where previous winners often struggle to maintain their prominence in subsequent years. However, both Stonebwoy and King Promise have defied this pattern.

Additionally, Adutwumwaa pointed out that King Promise's use of a telephone booth during his TGMA performance mirrored a similar prop used by Stonebwoy at the Tidal Rave event the previous year.

According to her, King Promise’s use of the same prop further reinforced her point.

“During King Promise’s performance, he used a telephone booth. Stonebwoy had used the same prop during his performance at last year’s Tidal Rave. So for King Promise to bring such a setup to a bigger stage like the TGMAs is commendable. That is what I meant by ‘We’ve shown how it’s done,’” she explained.
