Stonebwoy is facing backlash from fans after releasing a new music video amidst ongoing protests and the harsh treatment of demonstrators by police in Ghana.
The Afro-dancehall star, known for his international acclaim, took to social media to launch his new music video, but many fans were quick to express their disappointment, accusing him of being out of touch with the struggles of everyday Ghanaians.
One frustrated fan posted, “Meet Livingstone Etse Satekla aka Stonebwoy who writes a whole thread cos he wasn’t recognized in a Grammy article but is insensitive to the suffering of the people who made him who he’s today by selfishly launching his music video while his people are being brutalized by the police.”
This comment reflected the widespread sentiment that Stonebwoy, by focusing on promoting his work, appeared to neglect the serious issues unfolding in the country.
Ghana has recently been grappling with protests against bad governance, with police responses drawing heavy criticism for their violent tactics.
In the midst of this unrest, many of Stonebwoy’s fans expected him to speak out against the injustices, given his influence as a prominent figure in the entertainment industry.
Instead, his decision to release a music video was seen as poorly timed, sparking further disappointment among those who feel that celebrities should use their platforms to advocate for the people.
The protests against galamsey have gained momentum in Ghana as environmental concerns escalate, particularly regarding the devastating effects of illegal mining on the country’s natural resources.
The subsequent arrest of the prosteters have sparked widespread outrage among civil society and activists who argue that the government should prioritize environmental protection and public health over the interests of illegal miners.
