Afro-Dancehall sensation Stonebwoy is making waves once again, this time on BET UK, where he showcased Ghanaian culture and reflected on the country’s independence journey.
Stonebwoy revealed that Ghana’s Independence Day holds deep personal significance for him, not just as a national celebration but because he was born just a day before the historic date.
“March 6 means so much to me because I was born on March 5. This is no coincidence—I have always felt a strong connection to my motherland,” he shared.
However, beyond the celebrations, Stonebwoy also reflected on the missed opportunities and setbacks that have slowed Ghana’s progress.
He noted that but for corruption and political instability, Ghana could have been one of the leading nations on the African continent.
“Independence reminds me of how far we could have gone if not for corruption and political instability in this part of the continent, but I remain hopeful. Africa is a great continent, and with the right political leadership, we have the potential to thrive,” he stated.
Love for Ghanaian Culture and Music
While celebrating Ghana’s rich culture, Stonebwoy also expressed his love for traditional Ghanaian cuisine.
When asked about his favorite local dish, he said a well-pounded fufu with groundnut soup is always a top choice for him. He also enjoys rice balls with groundnut soup.
Stonebwoy’s passion for Ghana and Africa is evident in his music. He recently released a song titled Run Go, advocating for peace and unity, emphasizing that there is nowhere to run to in times of instability.
