Stonebwoy, the renowned Reggae/Dancehall artiste, has been removed from the lineup of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Victory Concert set for Sunday, January 5, 2025.
The decision to remove Stonebwoy from the lineup comes after significant backlash from the grassroots and youth supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
On Friday, January 3, 2025, Stonebwoy was officially announced as one of the performing artists for the upcoming NDC Victory Concert. However, the announcement sparked an immediate reaction from certain party members, particularly on social media, where the hashtag #DropStonebwoy quickly began trending. Many expressed their discontent, citing concerns about his inclusion in the event.
The controversy largely stemmed from Stonebwoy’s perceived political affiliations and past interactions, which some members felt did not align with the party’s ideals or image. As a result of this strong opposition, the NDC took the decision to drop him from the concert lineup, seeking to avoid further divisions within its ranks ahead of the event.
In light of the growing pressure, the organisers of the concert released a statement confirming the decision to remove Stonebwoy, the reigning Artiste of the Year at the TGMA, from the event lineup.
The organisers of the NDC Victory Concert removed Stonebwoy from the event lineup due to concerns raised by the party’s grassroots and youth supporters. They issued an apology to Stonebwoy and his team for the decision. Despite the controversy, the concert, celebrating the NDC’s historic election victory, will still take place at the forecourt of the Legon Stadium as scheduled.
