Ghanaian musician Stonebwoy has come under fire from social media users for promoting his new song ‘Jejereje’ at a time when some individuals are being arrested for protesting against illegal mining, also known as ‘Galamsey’, in Ghana.

While some music lovers have been enjoying the new song, critics argue that the timing of its release was inappropriate. They believe that Stonebwoy could have used this opportunity to show support for the movement against ‘Galamsey’ in the country.

The controversy erupted after activists were arrested in Accra for demonstrating against the environmental damage caused by illegal mining activities. There have been widespread calls, including from celebrities, for the release of these activists.

Netizens have taken to social media to express their disappointment in Stonebwoy’s decision to prioritize the promotion of his new song over supporting the anti-Galamsey protest and the activists who were detained.

In response to the backlash, Stonebwoy’s fans have pointed out that the artist has previously addressed the issue of illegal mining in his song ‘Greedy Men’, highlighting his concern for the environment and the negative impact of ‘Galamsey’ activities.
