Former British High Commissioner to Ghana, Jon Benjamin has described Ghanaian Afropop singer Wiyaala as the biggest music talent in Ghana.
His statement comes on the back of a request by a Twitter user to settle the beef between dance hall artistes Shatta Wale and Stonebwoy.
“Sir..so shatta and Stonebwoy beef can’t you pls help settle this.cos they are all under one umbrella..xylofon…(SIC),” Maestro Veron tweeted at the former diplomat.
In his response, Jon stated that he would only settle the beef between the two dance hall giants by declaring Wiyaala as the biggest artiste in Ghana.
“Ghana is more than big enough to accommodate both Shatta and Stonebwoy. I can settle the beef between them by stating categorically that Ghana’s biggest musical talent is …..Wiyaala That’s all settled then. You dey barb? (SIC),” he replied.
Not long ago Jon Benjamin came out to refuted claim by musician Stephanie Benson that Stonebwoy was a household name in the United Kingdom.
“No, he isn’t. Household name in the UK”? I can’t think of a single friend or relative of mine in London who has ever mentioned or even heard of Stonebwoy, sorry”.

@Jon Benjamin who's your favorite Togo Embassy roundabout night girl ? Because it's a known inside fila that you patronized the night girls business around Togo Embassy & Danquah Circle
PA PA PAPAPA PA. ME CLAPPING FOR WIYAALA. AUTHENTIC CONFIDENT INDIGENOUS EXOTIC GRACEFUL ARTISTIC CREATIVE GLOBAL AND THE LIST GOES ON AND ON. WIYAALA ROCKS THAN ALL. HER GLOBAL APPEAL IS SO STRONG, IT TAKES SOMEONE WITH AN EXOTIC APPRECIATION TO RECOGNIZE HER TALENT.
I need to look out for her. I don't know her but from all that I have been hearing about her I need to check her out.
Wei de3, no size. I agree with him on this one. The girl is just something else @ Wiyaala. She is natural, powerful, confident and really talented.
Truth hurts but that's a fact!!
Absolutely spot on. Her music and act are deep. Ever been invited by the Queen to perform(not so sure on this one). I think she is been slighted because she comes from the Northern part of Ghana,specifically Upper West Region where talent abounds! The best always comes from the worst. Putting Wiyaaala aside this will be the order: 1.Sarkodie 2.Stonebwoy 3.Shatta Wale 4.Ebony Reigns(late) That settles it.
You are right on this one. Wiyaala has more prominence and gigs outside GH than any other GH artist. Well said
