Ghanaian reggae/dancehall musician Stonebwoy has expressed displeasure with what he described as the constant display of negativity within the Ghanaian showbiz industry, particularly in this modern times.
Addressing a recent incident on social media where he requested that Nigerian social media influencer, Peller join him in his upcoming “Up & Running” concert in the UK.
Stonebwoy in an interview on the Afrobeat Podcast on March 7, 2025, noted that Ghanaians should refrain from spreading malicious news on the internet because it has the potential to do more harm than good.
“It’s heartbreaking and needs to be addressed. It is heartbreaking to release that in 2025 there is this level of mentality that is surrounding us as Ghanaian people.
“If you go to the Grammy’s and be connecting with Tyler Swift and there is this negative reception by some Ghanaian populace and it is interesting it becomes the narrative which destroys the whole quality of what we can get from such moment,” he said.
The “Jejereje” hitmaker further stated that the Nigerian market, in comparison to Ghana’s, is relatively larger, thereby urging Ghanaians to support creatives aiming to tap into that space rather than dishing out criticisms.
“The timing we find ourselves is difficult and as a Ghanaian artiste as well. The truth needs to be told and we are only a handful of musicians trying to break the narrative. The odds are also against us from the internal space so for the typical Ghanaian artiste to be pushing you will know we are doing so much,” he maintained.
