    Sam George exposes the NSA, reveals Stonebwoy paid GH₵169,000 instead of GH₵ 70,000

    Ningo Prampram Member of Parliament Sam George claims that dancehall superstar Stonebwoy paid GH₵ 169,000 to reserve the Accra Sports Stadium for his Bhim Concert in December of last year.

    He asserts that the amount is less than the GH₵70,000 that the National Sports Authority (NSA) asserts the musician paid.

    During Peter Twumasi’s Public Accounts Committee appearance, Sam George questioned Twumasi, the Director-General of the National Sports Authority (NSA), about the GH₵ 70,000. Twumasi responded.

    Sam George was shown new information, though, which suggests Stonebwoy might have paid more than initially disclosed.

    After carefully examining Twumasi’s testimony before the Public Accounts Committee on February 5, 2024, the MP from Ningo-Prampram claimed to have learned of the discrepant figures.

    He added that Stonebwoy had not really paid the GH₵ 70,000 that had been made public, according to a source.

    Based on the records he possessed, Sam George asserted that Stonebwoy paid GH₵ 169,000 for the venue.

    Shatta Wale congratulates Stonebwoy for his successful Bhim concert: urged Ghanaians to be appreciative

    In a resounding display of love and appreciation, famed Ghanaian Reggae and Dancehall artiste, Shatta Wale has congratulated Stonebwoy following the triumph of his Bhim Concert at the iconic Accra Sports Stadium.

    History was made on Friday, December 22, 2023, as the iconic Afro-Reggae/Dancehall artiste, Stonebwoy staged his monumental Bhim Concert.

    The 40,000-capacity stadium overflowed with tumultuous fans. The atmosphere was filled with excitement and a noticeable energy coursed through the fans in the stands.

    For over 10 hours, the Accra Sports Stadium became a sacred space for Bhim Nation. Artists like Epixode, Larusso, Ras Kuuku, Kofi Kinaata, and Sefa took turns igniting the crowd with their diverse talents, each act adding a unique flavour to the musical gumbo.

    Following the success of the concert, Shatta Wale, who also held his concert at the same venue last year, has taken to social media to commend Stonebwoy’s achievement, advising his fans to learn to appreciate the effort of others.

    Shatta’s comment comes after his fans and some netizens criticized and compared Stonebwoy’s concert to that of Shatta’s Freedom Wave which was also held at the stadium last year.

    The ‘Melissa’ hitmaker in a Facebook post sighted by Ameyaw Debrah Media said “Let’s us all learn to appreciate ourselves for once and move on. To say congrats to a fellow brother or sister won’t spoil anything. I am too focused now to deal in who did it first or last.”

    “If we can change our attitude of how we support each other in this music business everyone will be happy. Yes Shatta wale did it And Stonebwoy has done it too.That should be the glory and not gory,” he added.

    He continued, “Shatta movement I came here to teach love and not hate ..My ways to repair might be harsh but trust me that is the only way Ghana music will learn and bounce back into the realities of life !! Shatta movement says congrats to the #BHIMPRESIDENT and let him also enjoy his moment in peace ”
