Ghanaian dancehall star Stonebwoy is facing backlash after a video of him throwing money into a crowd in Ejisu went viral on social media.
The footage has stirred controversy, particularly because it contradicts the musician’s earlier comments condemning the practice of spraying money at public events.
In a previous interview, Stonebwoy described the act as disrespectful, noting that it could cause injuries and often results in one person grabbing all the money, defeating the intended purpose of giving.
“I don’t like spraying money on people because it is a disrespect. If I do that one person can take all the money so I mostly like to give it in person. Some people also get injuries, which is another reason why I don’t like to throw money on people,” he said at the time.
Referencing this statement, media personality and BHIM Nation supporter DJ Slim expressed disappointment over the Ejisu incident, describing it as a clear contradiction of Stonebwoy’s own values.
“One thing I’m interested in is, is he biting back on his words? You can’t sit on national radio and speak against something like that, only to turn around and do the same,” DJ Slim said.
He went on to issue a 24-hour ultimatum to the musician and his team, requesting an explanation for the U-turn.
“I don’t understand why he did that. I’ve given the BHIM team 24 hours because I need an explanation. The only reason I’m giving him that grace period is because I’m BHIM-biased. But I wasn’t pleased with what he did that day,” he added.
The video has sparked a wave of reactions online, with fans and critics debating the apparent inconsistency between Stonebwoy’s words and actions
