Stonebwoy Announces Davido As Special Guest For Bhimfest 2024, Fans React

• Stonebwoy is ramping up arrangements for his upcoming concert on December 26 at the Labadi Beach Hotel
• The Ghanaian musician confirmed that Nigeria's Davido will join this year's line-up of Bhim Festival artists
• The announcement about the Nigerian star has hiked up the anticipation as fans count down to the festival

Ghanaian musician Stonebwoy has confirmed that his Nigerian colleague Davido will perform at this year's Bhim Festival.

Last year, the annual music experience drew about 40,000 fans to the Accra Sports Stadium for an incredible Ghanaian-Jamaican edition, marking the success of Stonebwoy's 5th Dimension album.

This year, the showrunners switched from their venue to the La Palm Royal Beach Hotel due to the stadium's maintenance requirements.

"Stonebwoy announcing Davido is a chess play move to stay afloat in the highly saturated Detty December market," entertainment analyst Yaw Boadu-Ayeboafoh told YEN.com.gh.

"This be the announcement?😭 Davido be mid bro.. why not bring Tommy Lee?😭"

"This would have been a great surprise if OBO's appearance had been a secret, but without an announcement, ticket sales might suffer. It's a tricky situation, and we understand."

@freemanAfrika remarked:

"Announcing your own friend to your event like he’s somebody big and new who would even bring more numbers on board😭😭. You fell off man. Davido in Ghana is nothing new charlie. Ghanaians know OBO as a neighbour already. Alkaline would have made a difference than OBO."
