Dancehall artiste Stonebwoy has called on industry players in the Ghanaian music industry to unite.
Moments after he became the only Ghanaian to get a 2017 Black Entertainment Television (BET) Awards nomination, he took to his Social Media accounts to ask for the “destroy to win tactics” to stop.
He wondered why Ghana got only one nomination whilst Nigerian and South Africa got three each.
Thanks For All The Love!! This Is For Ghana And Not Just BhimNation…South Africa is getting about 3 nominations,Nigeria is getting about 3 nomination,what is happening to Ghana?.Lets support our own and stop the Division. Stop the “Destroy To Win” Tactics.Stop Pitching Heads against each other and lets all represent for Mother Ghana.

HighGrade Family This Is For You

Shatta Movement This Is For You
Eliens This Is For You
Every Ghanaian This Is For You.
