Like many Ghanaian celebrities who have expressed their thoughts about the nation’s current economic situation, reggae/dancehall artiste Stonebwoy, has acknowledged that the nation is indeed going through challenging times.
According to the 2015 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA) Artiste of the Year winner, he only consumes one meal in a day.
He added that some Ghanaians are living in worse situations as they go the day and even beyond without food.
“Some people can’t even find a meal a day. They go every other day. So, if you cross people like this, and it’s genuine, you can do your best. My formation is once a day. So, I haven’t eaten. I will probably eat at 6 pm,” he said.
The Burniton Music Group CEO revealed that whenever he goes out, he always prepares himself to support the poor he comes across.
“It’s really not easy. Someone like me, I’m inside the street proper. I always have to have a denomination that I can actually distribute. As if it were an obligation. So I feel it. I know how it goes. Even people at the top don’t have it easy. So, how much more people on the ground?” he lamented.
He stressed, “all I can say is that we have to be realistic with our expenditures and ambitions, else you will be frustrated. Above all, we should be thankful we have life because no matter how tough it gets, God always makes a way at the end of the day.”
The 2022 edition of Stonebwoy’s Ashaiman To Da World Festival will be held at its popular venue, Saka Saka Park, on 3rd September 2022.
