Ghanaian Dancehall artist Stonebwoy has weighed in on the ongoing conversation about the term “new cat” in the music industry.

Stonebwoy disputed the notion that popular Nigerian Grammy-award winner Burna Boy is a “new cat” as claimed by Davido in a previous interview. Davido’s statement sparked mixed reactions among netizens on social media.

Offering his perspective on the matter, Stonebwoy stated that Davido’s assertion is not entirely accurate and that Davido may not have meant his comments to be taken literally.

During a recent interview with GoldMyne TV, the “Apotheke” hitmaker explained that Burna Boy has been actively involved in the music scene for over a decade, providing reasons to support his argument.

“Burna Boy is not a new cat to me because Burna has been there for more than a decade. If Davido said that, I honestly do not believe that he meant that outrightly. New cats would be Rema and Ruger them. So, I don’t believe Davido meant that, but also if you ask me, I think Wizkid and Davido have had a fair share of international appeal earlier than Burna,” Stonebwoy explained.

Despite the ongoing discussion about the “new cat” comment, it is worth noting that Stonebwoy maintains a good friendship with both Nigerian artists Davido and Burna Boy.
