Stonebwoy calls for positive narratives for musicians

Date:

Celebrated Dancehall musician, Stonebwoy has expressed worry about how Ghanaians celebrate mediocrity and called for a mental shift.‎


He lamented over how some Ghanaians fail to honour their own and always spread false information about Showbiz figures who are doing tremendously well in the industry.

‎Speaking in a recent media interview in which he shared the video on his Instagram page, Stonebwoy noted that the celebration of mediocrity was bringing the industry to its knees.

‎”As Ghanaians in the Ghanaian industry, there’s a need for a mind shift, a mental shift. We need that mental shift because celebrating a lot of mediocrity is one thing that is hurting our industry because if we want to progress, then we have to do progressive things,” he stated.

‎The “Jejereje” hitmaker observed that little was being done by Ghanaians to make that change and progress possible.

‎“But we are not mentally changing to adapt to stuff that would make such progress possible,” he stated.

‎Stonebwoy further charged Ghanaians to change the pull him down syndrome narrative and begin to spread a positive narrative about their musicians for the industry to progress in the right direction just like the Nigerians.

‎”There is a need for us to speak positively about the strides we make toward progress, rather than immediately comparing or downplaying them. Before any Nigerian artiste in my time would win a Grammy, they were already doing the groundwork.”

‎“You’d hear a narrative like, ‘If it wasn’t for Davido, Chris Brown wouldn’t have won a Grammy.’ I love that kind of narrative. But here in Ghana, I humbly say we often create narratives that pull us backward. We have a P.H.D. syndrome-Pull Him Down. But what if we change that to ‘Pull Him There?” he added.
