A day after Stonebwoy clinched seven trophies during Saturday’s Telecel Ghana Music Awards 2024, the most decorated voice in African music took to social media to remark on his historic win at the star-studded ceremony.
The 25th edition of the Telecel Ghana Music Awards was a night to remember for the Ghanaian reggae, dancehall and afropop singer Stonebwoy as he was crowned with coveted industry-leading accolade “Artiste of the Year” for his trailblazing artistry and impactful charity in the year under review–with about 90 shows headlined across the continent, intensive media run, hit album and chart-topping singles and scoring the highest audience appeal and popularity under his belt.
His win received an incredible outpouring of congratulatory messages from music industry executives, fellow musicians, and numerous commentators, including those who connected with his song’s lyrics.
In a June 2nd message posted across his social media platforms, Stonebwoy began by expressing his appreciation to “all those who debate and argue the earth” on his behalf.
“Thank You very much for the genuine Love And Support. All those who debate and argue the earth on my behalf, Our Deeds Are Speaking Volumes.
