Ghana's reggae and dancehall king Stonebwoy on using music to unify • FRANCE 24 English

He's been described as the king of reggae and dance hall artists in Africa. For the past decade, Stonebwoy has cemented himself as one of Ghana's most successful artists, winning more than 50 awards. His music has reached millions on streaming platforms, earning the respect of artists and fans far beyond the West African nation’s borders. On his recent album "5th Dimension", he collaborated with the likes of Davido, Angelique Kidjo and Stormzy. He’s in Paris to talk about his new single "Your Body" and its message for people to love and accept themselves. Stonebwoy speaks to Eve Jackson about being one of the most decorated voices in African music after winning six trophies in June’s Ghana Music Awards, his mission to use music to unify Black people across the African diaspora and his plans to work with Taylor Swift.

Big Ups 2✌️ 'Afronita nd Abigail' they really catapult the name 'Ghana 🇬🇭 ***Aaabuoyyyyy

[@user-ei2bx8yr2o]

Bwahahahaha!!! Abigail did what? For crying out loud! Why do Ghanaians have an embarrasing preference for celebrating mediocrity. Abigail was third (3rd) and Ghanaians are rejoicing?😂😂😂 If Abigail was a Nigerian her parents and relatives would've asked her the well known Nigerian question : "How come you came 3rd? Does the person or people who took the First position have two heads?" But Ghanaians have no such culture so their children have no drive to succeed. Stonebuoy who's not up to Asake in ranking and wealth Is here talking thrash.😂😂😂 All Ghanaians ever do is talk,talk and talk but no actions.😂😂😂

[@godfredmclean]

@@mandylarbi5459 that’s his style of music but not a genre yet until it is certified on all streaming platforms that when it becomes a genre like how burna boy has make afrofusion certified

[@newmontdenver7141]

@@godfredmcleancontinue bleeding as France 24 TV hails him as the African dancehall king 😂😂😂. Eno be mouth oo, ebi grounds work 😂

[@godfredmclean]

@@newmontdenver7141 lol am rather correct my brother. How can stonebwoy be the originator of reggae and dancehall music . The last time I check he’s an Afropop musician who does afrobeats,reggae,highlife,dancehall,rnb and hipop. As a bhim native you have to know the type of genres your leader do. Let’s not be ignorance like some fan base I know
