Movie producer Socrate Safo has taken a swipe at critics calling on Hiplife Grandpapa Reggie Rockstone to retire from music.

His critics say he is too old to be in Hiplife group "VVIP."

He said:“We must put a stop to this. We retire our footballers, musicians instead of tapping experience from their experience.

"You’ll see some young and ignorant people mount unnecessary pressure on you and you subsequently bow out. Reggie, move on. Don’t be intimidated by these kids. I don’t see anything wrong with his craft.

"He still sounds good so what is the issue? He can dance, he’s handsome, he can dance so well so I don’t get why someone should raise this issue. In showbiz, there’s no retiring age."

Reggie Rockstone has also responded to the call for him to retire, saying age is not a factor in music.

“I have accomplished a lot and I am older than the rest in the group but this is not the case when it comes to music. There is that humility and respect that is how we have come out with hit tracks like ‘Skolom’ ft Sena Dagadu and ‘Alhaji’ enjoying massive airplay and patronage. When it comes to music, age is not a factor. What matters is the ability to coordinate well and deliver,” Reggie said on Kumasi-based Abusua FM.
