Ghanaian artist Stonebwoy is facing backlash on social media for promoting his new song “Jejereje” at a time when protests against illegal mining, known as ‘galamsey,’ have resulted in the arrest of activists in Accra. While many fans are enjoying the new track, critics argue that the timing of its release is inappropriate, suggesting that Stonebwoy should have focused his efforts on supporting the protest against environmental destruction.
Activists recently took to the streets of Accra to voice their concerns over the negative impact of illegal mining, but many were arrested during the demonstration. This situation has sparked a wider call among citizens and celebrities alike for the police to release those detained.
Netizens have expressed their disappointment with Stonebwoy’s decision to promote his music rather than align himself with the ongoing protests.
Interestingly, Stonebwoy has previously released a song titled “Greedy Men,” which addresses the issue of galamsey directly, showing his awareness of the environmental concerns.
