Dancehall star Stonebwoy has taken to social media to express his frustration with the culture of online disrespect and hate. In a cryptic message, he condemned individuals who hide behind social media to pour out negativity, often as a way to cope with their own personal struggles. According to Stonebwoy, such behavior may be entertaining to some, but it’s unacceptable in real life.
The multiple award-winning artist revealed that he’s been a target of discredit for over a decade, largely due to his success on the global stage. Stonebwoy suggested that those who exhibit hostility may be battling deeper psychological issues, and that acknowledging these issues is the first step towards recovery. However, without self-awareness, the outcome can be regrettable.
Stonebwoy’s post included the hashtag #SammyBaah, which has sparked speculation among fans that the message was indirectly aimed at Shatta Wale, given Sammy Baah’s current role as Wale’s communications manager. While Stonebwoy didn’t directly reference his long-time rival, the history of tension between the two dancehall heavyweights has led followers to draw connections.
This isn’t the first time Stonebwoy has spoken out against online trolls. He has previously advised Ghanaians to stop tearing each other down and instead focus on elevating their own people. Stonebwoy emphasized the importance of maintaining a positive online presence and ignoring negativity, focusing on his music and performances.
In recent news, Stonebwoy has been making waves internationally, including a recent meeting with American rapper Rick Ross, which has fans buzzing about a potential collaboration.
