Singer Stephanie Benson‘s claim that Ghanaian Dancehall artiste, Stonebwoy is a household name in the UK is untrue, says Jon Benjamin, former British Ambassdor to Ghana.
Benjamin made the statement on Twitter in response to an interview Benson granted on e.tvGhana’s Late Night Celebrity Show.
“Stonebwoy is big in the UK, everybody knows about him there but the others are not so known there. I went for my radio tour just before I came with the song ‘One More’, and a couple of my songs ‘Goodbye and ‘Good Feeling’ and everybody was asking me do you know Stonebwoy and said yes!,” stated Benson recently.
“I mean he and Mr Eazi are pretty much the only two acts they know in my ‘circle’ and not the Ghanaian circle because they know a lot of other acts obviously, but over there it was just Stonebwoy and I was thinking wow and actually M.anifest also. I did not mention Fuse ODG because obviously he is a worldwide brand.”

Jon Benjamin thanks for your concern about Ghana,truely shows how much you care for our country.How many ambassador have shown such interest.Ghana gorvenment should grant you a citizenship
Look how you guys have made this so called ambassador played on your intelligence, infact we will continue to be slaves forever.
Jon Benjamin the serial caller! You are such a uselessss diplomat.....
I cant mention even one of stoneboy's song, I'm a Ghanaian.
I laugh enter kitchen, the lady must have f00led a lot of people to make her way through where she is now. She is a fraud and Jon is so right. I am a Londoner and i follow all these artistes, Shatta is quite know here,but Stonebwoy, u would never hear his music anywhere, aprt from a few plays of “HIGHER”. Thats about it, Stonebwoy doesnt make any news here. Nobody knows him, Manifest too same criteria, infact , Sarkodie and Shatta are probably the only uk household named musicians from Ghana. The lady must be hanged for such atrocious comments !
You hear more of Sarkodie and Shata Wale. This is Fact!
I don’t usually agree with the Jon guy but Even me kwraa that I’m Ghanaian I don’t know even one of Stonebwoy’s songs.
HAHAAAAAAAAAA B3 EJOR LO? ALE L3. EY3 MORBOR
