Ghanaian Afro-dancehall icon Stonebwoy has revealed his refreshing approach to criticism and how he leverages it to fuel his growth and artistry.
Speaking on Hitz FM’s Daybreak Hitz with host Andy Dosty, the award-winning musician emphasized his openness to feedback, describing it as a cornerstone of his development as an artist.
“I react to criticism with a lot of applause,” Stonebwoy remarked during the interview. “If it’s coming from an educative point where I can learn, I appreciate it.”
His candid response underscores his belief in the transformative power of constructive criticism.
Rather than shying away from feedback, the Therapy hitmaker views it as an opportunity to refine his craft.
This mindset, he believes, not only benefits him as an artist but also fosters a culture of continuous improvement within the creative industry.
Ghanaian musician Stonebwoy relived the moment he physically interacted with Taylor Swift during an interview on Hitz FM’s Daybreak morning show.
The Ghanaian Afropop artiste ran into Taylor Swift at the 2023 Grammy Awards. A video of them locked in a brief conversation threw the internet into a frenzy.
While fans were intrigued that Stonebwoy had gone an inch closer to his dream of working with the global popstar, others tore into him for selling himself too little when he met her.
During his media engagement on Hitz FM, a pundit commented on fans’ unfair treatment after Stonebwoy’s meetup with Taylor Swift.
The Jejereje hitmaker drooled over the moment, saying “Those comments are opposition comments. Just like NPP and NDC. Sometimes I see it lightly but It doesn’t stop me from doing what I got to do.”
He established that meeting her was a pivotal moment and brushed off the narrative that his attitude during their meetup was demeaning.
In an unexpected turn of events, Wanderlust Ghana Expedition Club has announced the suspension of its ambitious 30,000-kilometer Cross-Country Overland Expedition.

The one-week celebration of the late Akua Donkor, flagbearer of the Ghana Freedom Party (GFP), took place on Thursday, November 28, 2024, at her hometown, Ejuratia, in the Kwabre East District of the Ashanti Region.

Ghanaian event organizer and promoter based in Germany, Ofori One, has raised a concern about the charges of Ghanaian artistes.
During an interview with ZionFelix in Germany, Ofori complained about the high charges some Ghanaian artistes demand when contacted for events abroad.
He stated that most event organizers outside the shores of Ghana are not making money from the shows they organize.
Since they are not profiting from these events, he implored artistes to be considerate.

Ofori said it would be better if they charge modestly and have events to perform abroad frequently than to charge exorbitantly and have a few or no events to perform at.
To him, if these artistes wouldn’t agree to take €2000 or other amounts that would benefit both parties, then they should organize their own events.
Ofori also talked about other challenges that event organizers abroad encounter.

MC Portfolio has expressed his disappointment in DJ Slim following his recent editorial on the ‘Street is Watching’.
In the latest episode of the podcast, Slim touched on the loyalty of Portfolio after his encounter with Shatta Wale at Angel FM in Kumasi.
He claimed Portfolio was not able to articulate most of his points well after meeting Shatta Wale, suspecting a GHS 5,000 he allegedly received from the artiste.
The popular radio presenter and disc jockey said he was worried—looking at the platforms that Stonebwoy was projecting Portfolio.
Reiterating Stonebwoy’s assertion that MC Portfolio declined to take money from him when he offered, DJ Slim questioned why Wale decided to give him money on TV if he really wanted to dash him something.
Slim added that the Shatta Movement boss made MC Portfolio turned a stripper and also his bitch.

Following this, Portfolio in an X post sighted by Zionfelix.net told DJ Slim how disappointed he is.
According to him, the wrong impression created by Slim in his editorial has the tendency to ruin his relationship with Stonebwoy and his fans.
MC Portfolio stated that DJ Slim was not fair to him—and he was hurt.
He concluded that God knows his intention.
DJ Slim also hit back to defend whatever he said, stressing that he was not disappointed because he told Portfolio the same thing before the editorial.
