Shatta Wale and Stonebwoy unite forces to advocate for #SupportYourOwn campaign
Shatta Wale x Stonebwoy
Ghanaian artists are enormously blessed with talent and creativity in abundance, the only thing the creative industry lacks is structures, support systems, and uniformity. Most creatives are selfish for the wrong reasons losing sight of the bigger picture. But thanks to the gift of maturity, foresight, legacy, and love for Ghana, Shatta Wale, and Stonebwoy have united forces to break that yoke. And it took just a tweet to break the yoke of uncertainty.
A tweet from Shatta Wale promoting Stonebwoy’s latest #WeMove, sparked the fire to effect a positive change. Stonebwoy on the appreciative end embraced the tweet with love and respect.
We Moveeeee 🔥🔥🔥

In response to Shatta Wale’s kind gesture, Stonebwoy also tweeted a link to Shatta Wale’s historic collaboration with Jamaican music star Skillibeng #BlowUp. It’s high time creative individuals start to treat people like a reflection of themselves, that way there won’t be any room for bad energy.

There have been many attempts to make this work in the past but it didn’t hold water. So if the two biggest music rivals in Ghana have managed to put their differences aside, tame their egos, and joined forces for the growth of the music culture also put Ghana on the global map, it’s paramount for every Ghanaian artist to jump on the trend train. What is stopping other artists from joining the #supportyourown campaign?
Championing this campaign will not only create a picture-perfect image of Ghana music to the world. It will equally invite investors and who knows? The government will pay more attention to the creative sector. As paradoxical as it may sound, creatives are the source of every country’s entertainment.
