Social Media users have berated Ghanaian Afropop, Afro-dancehall and reggae musician, Livingstone Etse Satekla, popularly known as Stonebwoy for claiming to be a concerned citizen.
Stonebwoy shared a video showing the state of water bodies in the country and wrote “The Message. The Message. Not The Messenger.. I love Ghana. Video About a Week Ago..”
Reacting to this, X users understand the 2024 Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA) Artiste of the Year is pretending because he is a beneficial of illegal mining (galamsey) which has destroyed the water bodies and the forest reserves.
One user wrote “Those who benefit from galamsey proceeds have no right to talk when honest citizens are talking. Just shut up”
“You know your boss also has a hand in it. What are you going tell him? Or you will be like the proverbial thief who steals from someone and turns around to try to help him find what was stolen??” Another one said.
