Ghanaian dancehall musician, Stonebwoy, has been dropped from the Ghana Victory Concert due to pressure from the National Democratic Congress (NDC)’s grassroots.
Stonebwoy dropped from Ghana Victory Concert
In a signed statement by the organisers of the Ghana Victory Concert released on January 3, 2025, they announced that Stonebwoy would no longer be performing at the Ghana Victory Concert.
In the statement, the organisers noted that they were responding to the public outcry from the party’s grassroots supporters, who wanted the Up & Running creator to be dropped.
“The organisers of the Ghana Victory Concert, responding to public sentiment and concerns from the party’s grassroots regarding Stonebwoy’s inclusion, have decided to remove the artist from the concert lineup,” the statement read.
The statement apologised to all NDC members and the party’s grassroots for including the Jiggle and Whine hitmaker in the concert’s artist lineup. The organisers of the Ghana Victory Concert further stated that sharing the flier announcing Stonebwoy’s presence at the concert was a lack of discretion.
They concluded their message by apologising to Stonebwoy and his team for the unfortunate outcome.
“We sincerely apologize to all members of the National Democratic Congress, particularly the grassroots, for what may have appeared to be a lack of discretion on the part of the organizers. We also extend our apologies to Stonebwoy and his team for this unfortunate outcome.”
