Stonebwoy kicked off the tour with an up-close experience at the 750-person capacity Outset music venue in the US city of Chicago, on Thursday, February 20, 2025.
It was a thunderous moment when the musician popped up on stage on a motorbike with a Ghana flag flying to compliment his stagecraft.
The Jejereje hitmaker has been one of several artistes heavily invested in his creativity, set design and experiences for fans.
In 2023, he performed at the 40k-capacity Accra Sports Stadium turning the sports center into an immersive experience for fans.
While some fans hailed Stonebwoy, others found the musician's Chicago moments as an opportunity to ridicule his efforts.
Speaking to YEN.com.gh, entertainment analyst, Yaw Boadu-Ayeboafoh weighed in on the aftermath of Stonebwoy's atint in Chicago saying
"Stonebwoy's moves are being watched critically. It's normal. He's our reigning Artiste of the Year. What I think is a little unfair are the negative comments surrounding the traction for his show. Filling venues especially outside of your country is not dependent on your size as an artiste alone. It takes time and a lot of activation in that market. So playing smaller venues to ensure you're not making losses should never be frowned at."

Another clip from Stonebwoy's performance in Chicago in which he was spotted dancing with his backup dancers on stage.
While some described it as part of his act as an artiste, YEN.com.gh reported that, others thought it was inappropriate for a married man to behave in such a manner.
The video caught the attention of several people including Reggie Rockstone who rallied behind Stonebwoy and sensitised the fans about stagecraft.
