No Agenda Against Stonebwoy – Rex Omar Sets the Record Straight

Rex Owusu Marfo, widely known as Rex Omar and currently coordinating the Black Star Experience, has strongly pushed back against claims that he attempted to undermine Stonebwoy during the scheduling clash between the BHIM Festival and the Black Star Experience concert.

Both shows were initially announced for December 26, 2025, triggering quick speculation online that the Black Star Secretariat was deliberately setting up a rivalry. The chatter grew so intense that many fans believed the date conflict was a targeted move against Stonebwoy.

Speaking on Joy Prime on November 19, 2025, Rex Omar explained that the confusion stemmed from nothing more than an unfortunate overlap that spiraled into a public dispute. He believes the entire situation could have been resolved quietly if Stonebwoy had contacted him directly rather than allowing the issue to grow unchecked on social platforms.

Rex Omar stressed that he has long maintained a positive relationship with Stonebwoy and never had any interest in derailing a Ghanaian artiste’s progress. He welcomed news that the BHIM Festival had since been shifted to December 24, 2025, and expressed full support for Stonebwoy’s success both locally and internationally.

To him, the creative sector benefits when differences are handled professionally, away from social media drama. He noted that his focus—along with the Black Star Secretariat—is on building a thriving environment for all Ghanaian artistes, not participating in internal rivalries. The government, he added, has no intention of stepping into disputes among musicians, as its priority is ensuring equitable support for every creative talent.

Even with the tension that built up around the date issue, Rex Omar emphasized that he still views Stonebwoy as a brother in the industry. He reflected on how he once put his own career on hold to advocate for reforms in the sector and said he would never undermine any artiste after fighting for years to improve conditions in the industry.

For him, disagreements are normal, but they do not need to be amplified online. He believes Ghanaian music can only reach its global potential when such issues are handled maturely and privately, allowing artistes to present a united front to the world.
