Okailey Verse, widely known as OV in the music industry, had always been a force to be reckoned with. Her journey to stardom began when she emerged victorious in the 2019 MTN Hitmaker music reality TV competition.
Her remarkable stage presence and undeniable talent caught the attention of many, including the renowned Afro dancehall musician Stonebwoy. The result? A coveted deal with Burniton Music Group (BMG), under the stewardship of the dancehall king himself.
OV’s music career under the BMG banner was filled with promise and potential. Collaborations with industry heavyweights and electrifying performances made her a rising star in the Ghanaian music scene. But all that glittered was not gold, and behind the scenes, there were brewing tensions that would soon reach their breaking point.
In mid-2019, the unexpected happened. OV, along with her labelmate Kelvyn Boy and Stonebwoy’s then-manager Black Sidi, was released from the record label. Fans were left in shock, speculating wildly about the reasons behind this abrupt separation. Stonebwoy himself weighed in on the matter, but his statement was cryptic, leaving more questions than answers.
“Our decision with OV is part of our efforts to restructure the brand. If you are close to me, you’ll know my intent as a manager. I couldn’t see a lot of things until my attention was drawn to it. Because of this, I had to re-structure. It’s in the best interest of the company that she was released. She has our support anytime, any day,” Stonebwoy had said.
As the dust settled, the true cause of the fallout remained a well-guarded secret, buried beneath layers of silence and intrigue. Fans and the media hungered for the truth, eager to unravel the mystery behind OV’s departure from BMG
However, the silence was shattered when OV decided to take matters into her own hands. In a recent interview with Kwaku Manu on the ‘Aggressive Show,’ she hinted that Stonebwoy knew the real reason behind their split but chose not to disclose it. OV’s challenge was daring and direct.
“I dare you, presenters, to put it to him on why we left the label and push him to say the truth,” she declared. It was a bold move, one that had been a long time coming. OV was determined to unearth the truth, not only for her sake but also for the countless fans who had been left in the dark.
In that very moment, OV dismissed the rumors that had swirled around her, rumors of involvement with hard drugs. She made it clear that her only vice was wine, and she did not partake in smoking.
The challenge had been thrown down, the gauntlet laid. The stage was set for a showdown of words, a confrontation that would force the truth to the surface. OV’s determination to reveal the untold story behind her exit from BMG was a testament to her resilience and unyielding spirit, qualities that had propelled her to stardom in the first place. Now, the music world waited with bated breath to see if Stonebwoy would accept her challenge and finally reveal the long-kept secret that had left fans guessing for so long.
