Stonebwoy has voiced his frustration over the negativity he often faces from a section of Ghanaians, particularly on social media.
Speaking on the Afrobeats Podcast, he recounted how a lighthearted moment on TikTok Live with Nigerian influencer Peller turned into an unnecessary controversy back home.
“It’s heartbreaking. It really is. And it needs to be addressed,” he said. “In 2025, it’s sad that this kind of mentality still exists among us as Ghanaians.”
The musician explained that his interaction with Peller was completely unplanned. He had been on a live session thanking fans for their support when the young influencer joined.
“I didn’t even recognize the name at first. I declined it twice before finally accepting. And then, we started vibing. I saw an opportunity to turn it into a promotional moment, so I joked about flying him to London,” he recalled.
However, what was meant to be a positive and engaging moment turned into an online debate, with some Ghanaians finding unnecessary reasons to criticize the interaction.
“Instead of pushing the moment forward, we now have to defend it. And by the time we finish defending, the momentum is lost,” he lamented.
Stonebwoy compared this situation to a past incident at the Grammys, where he introduced himself to a global star, only for some Ghanaians to ridicule him instead of celebrating the networking opportunity.
“It’s interesting how the negative narrative always becomes more popular. That’s the sad part. We should be elevating our own people, not dragging them down,” he emphasized.
He urged Ghanaians to be more supportive of their artists and recognize that every positive step they take benefits the country’s music industry as a whole.
