Ruff Town Records boss Bullet has talked about a moment that changed the dynamic between him and dancehall artiste Stonebwoy, claiming the singer failed to respond when he reached out for a collaboration with the late Ebony Reigns.
During an interview with Nana Romeo on Okay FM, Bullet revisited the early days of Stonebwoy’s rise in the music industry and detailed the role he says he played in the artiste’s journey after his exit from Samini’s camp.
According to Bullet, Stonebwoy was signed to Rough Money Records, a label he co-established with a former school senior before Ruff Town Records later emerged from the same foundation.
“After Stonebwoy left Samini’s camp, I was the one who signed him; he cannot deny it. I signed him under Rough Money Records; Rough Town came out of that. I co-founded that label with my senior from Ideal College. So I have helped Stonebwoy before,” he said.
Bullet explained that years later, after Stonebwoy had become a major name in the industry, he contacted him in hopes of securing a feature for Ebony Reigns, who was then signed to Ruff Town Records. He said the response he expected never came.

“When I was looking for Ebony’s feature, and I texted him, he ignored me. I was surprised, but I kept it cool,” he asserted.
Even so, Bullet maintained that there is no bad blood between them. He clarified that his occasional criticism of Stonebwoy should not be mistaken for personal animosity.
“There’s no beef between Stonebwoy and I,” he insisted.
The music executive also contrasted his relationship with Stonebwoy to the bond he shares with Shatta Wale, describing the award-winning dancehall artiste as more of a brother because of how long they have known each other.
Bullet noted that while he may not have directly contributed to Shatta Wale’s success, he witnessed the artiste’s journey long before fame arrived.
He further stressed that he is simply outspoken about issues in the entertainment industry and believes sharing his opinions about artistes should not automatically be interpreted as conflict or hostility.
