Organizers of the National Democratic Congress’ (NDC) Ghana Victory Concert have announced the removal of Stonebwoy from the list of performers for the event scheduled on Sunday, January 5, 2025.
This follows heavy backlash from supporters of the NDC who criticized the billing of Stonebwoy, an artiste who had supposedly disrespected the party publicly and not supported the party in any way.
The supporters after calling for his removal, demanded he be replaced with rival, Shatta Wale who has supported the NDC in the past and even written songs for the party.
In a statement released on Friday, January 3, 2025, the organizers explained that the decision was prompted by a public campaign from netizens calling for the artiste’s exclusion, as well as concerns raised by party grassroot.
They stated, “Responding to public sentiments and feedback from the party’s grassroots, we have decided to remove Stonebwoy from the concert lineup.”
The organizers acknowledged flaws in their approach to selecting performers and apologized to the party’s grassroots for the oversight.
They also extended an apology to Stonebwoy’s team, calling the situation an unfortunate outcome.
The decision has sparked widespread debate online, with netizens sharing mixed reactions about Stonebwoy’s removal. While some are happy it happened, some are also questioning organizers for their actions.
