According to Joyonline, Hiplife Grandpapa and son of legendary Fashion designer, Ricky 'Ricci' Osei (Saint Osei), Reggie Rockstone replied a question by host of Good Evening Ghana Paul Adom
 Otchere who wanted to know why despite his fame in music,he has not 
achieved much as some Nigerian artiste like D'banj have done.
"Why should D'banj be more successful than you internationally?" the host asked on last Thursday's show.
Although Rockstone acknowledged that Nigerian music is ahead of 
Ghana, he said it doesn't have to mean their musicians are more 
successful than him.
Reggie believes an entertainers success must not be merely seen in an
 artiste's global reach or the amount of money he has.
"What is your 
definition of success?", Reggie responded in his cool, relaxed fashion.
"Cos D'banj has two more cars than me? Not really. They got two books
 written about me..there is a whole documentary about me", Rockstone 
pointed out.

Dapo Daniel Oyebanjo popularly known as D'banj is a Nigerian 
singer-songwriter, harmonica player, and businessman. He has won several
 music awards including the awards for Best African Act at the MTV 
Europe Music Awards 2007, Artist of the Year at the MTV Africa Music 
Awards 2009 and BET Awards of 2011 for Best International Act: Africa.
D'banj is currently best known internationally for his 2012 summer 
hit "Oliver Twist", an uptempo dance fusion of Afro-Beats and electronic
 dance music that topped the African charts 2011 and was a top 10 hit in
 the UK singles chart in 2012 reaching #2 on the UK R&B chart.
Reggie explains that schools in America read his book titled "Living 
the Hiplife: Celebrity and Entrepreneurship in Ghanaian Popular Music."
Reggie Rockstone, a 2004 Kora Award winner, did not talk about the 
other book but said students in American universities study his work.
He continued that D'banj have not added any thing unique to his 
music.
"D'banj didn't create what I do.There is no style that is called 
D'banj" he said.
He said the Nigerian musician "probably" drew inspiration from 
Ghana's hiplife genre and 2face, another popular Nigerian star 
acknowledges Reggie's influence in his music.
The popular Ghanaian music icon said he doesn't have to be popular than D'banj just because he started the hiplife movement.
Using a twi proverb "man was born to play his part, not to doing 
everything", he said everybody must add to what he comes to meet.
Hiplife is a popular music genre in Ghana that mixes hip-hop 
beatmaking and rap with highlife music, proverbial speech, and Akan 
storytelling.

Kingdom but lived his early years in the United Kingdom. He has been

role in the development of this uniquely African genre in Ghana's
