He established that his Afro-dancehall journey has made some Ghanaians develop a misconception that he is a foreigner.
The Afro-dancehall pioneer's remarks have stoked a significant frenzy on social media. While some fans assess the validity of Stonebwoy's claims, others weighed in on the singer's strides in the Caribbean.
Stonebwoy has collaborated with several Jamaican artistes, including the legendary Grammy-winning group Morgan Heritage.
His latest album, Up and Runnin6 features Blvk H3ro, Chi Chi Ching, and Jamaica's dancehall queen Spice, who was nominated for Best Reggae Album at the 64th Grammy Awards in 2022.
She's the only female dancehall star to register over 200 million pure sales from one album.
Speaking to YEN.com.gh, entertainment analyst Yaw Boadu-Ayeboafoh explained that
"Stonebwoy will forever be a Ghanaian and I'm sure anyone who has fallen in love with his music and career will be excited he's pushing the country's name in other foreign markets. His comments about people misconstruing him as Jamaican are overstated but also very normal. It's normal to have such PR-mongering moments every once in a while."
