Reactions to the trending video
Many Bhim Nation fans thronged the comment section to indicate that the video was AI-generated, as they dropped the original video in the comment section.
Others also lashed out at the X-user, Twilight, as they hinted that he was a Shatta Wale fan who was attempting to seek approval from the Jejereje hitmaker's camp.
Others also hinted that the two dancehall musicians were not on talking terms since Shatta Wale has been using social media and events to insult Stonebwoy recently.

"AI models contain biases" - Ghanaian systems analyst
In an exclusive interview with Systems Analyst Simon Azanu, he told YEN.com.gh that despite AI being useful, it had its disadvantages.
He said that AI models were trained on existing data, which might contain biases. He noted that these biases could influence the selection of news stories, favouring certain viewpoints or perspectives while marginalising others.
"AI cannot effectively distinguish between credible sources and unreliable content, and in the long run, it may spread false information."
Mr Azanu further stated that based on algorithms and personalised news feeds based on user preferences could also limit exposure to diverse viewpoints.
He said that platforms such as Instagram's AI feature, where users can select that their post is AI-generated, enhance user experience and content management.
"For eg. Instagram uses AI to suggest relevant posts, reels, and stories based on users' preferences, behaviours, and interactions. Same for other platforms like TikTok. How you engage with certain videos and the kind of videos you watch on your for you page (fyp). TikTok continuously shows you videos in that category until you are not interested anymore."
Stonebwoy's wife supports an injured fan
YEN.com.gh reported that dancehall musician Stonebwoy's wife, Dr Louisa, and some members of the Livingstone Foundation, visited the Korle Bu hospital.
The group paid for the medical expenses and donated items to a staunch Bhim Nation fan whose arm was amputated after an accident.
Many fans applauded Stonebwoy and his wife's gesture and thronged to social media to praise the power couple.
