Stonebwoy throws money at fans
Stonebwoy was in attendance at the Kawukudi Astro Turf Park to watch the Youth Peaceful Elections Unity Soccer Gala tournament on Monday, September 23, 2024.
The dancehall musician interacted with many individuals at the event and awarded the football tournament participants.
In a viral video sighted by YEN.com.gh, Stonebwoy was spotted leaving the Kawukudi Astro Turf Park in a fleet of cars with his personnel bodyguards and a motorcade providing security.
The BHIM Nation boss' car was mobbed by many fans who wanted to catch a glimpse of him before his departure.
To show his love and appreciation for the fans' support, Stonebwoy came out of his Toyota Land Cruiser's sunroof to spray money into the air, which many people rushed to grab as he exited.
In a recent interview, Stonebwoy claimed that he disliked throwing money at fans because he finds it disrespectful and preferred to put money in his fans' hands.
He noted that the habit of throwing money at fans was a dangerous act, as people would end up injuring themselves during the melee that might ensue.
The musician, who was recently featured on Jordin Sparks' No Restrictions album, received criticism from Ghanaians on social media for his gesture after his recent remarks about the act, with many people calling him out for his inconsistency.

He also shared his thoughts on how the dancehall musician's actions could impact his reputation.
He said:
"For some of us who defended Stonebwoy when he made the initial statement, this is a slap in the face. He has given people the chance to come at him. He didn't practice what he preached, and it shows the statement was meant to spite someone, but now he has been caught in the same web."
