Stonebwoy Sparks Debate Again After Repeating Controversial Stage Performance in Chicago
Ghanaian dancehall superstar Stonebwoy has once again become the center of public debate following his recent performance in Chicago. The artist, who is currently on his Up & Running North American tour, was captured on stage delivering an energetic set with two female dancers. The dance moves, particularly during his performance of Jiggle & Whine, have drawn comparisons to his controversial stage act with Jamaican singer Spice at the BHIM Festivalin December 2024.
At the time, Stonebwoy’s performance with Spice generated massive reactions, leading him to publicly apologize to his wife, Dr. Louisa Ansong Satekla. He assured fans that it was all part of entertainment and not intended to be disrespectful. However, his recent actions in Chicago have reignited the conversation, with fans divided on whether his behavior is appropriate or simply part of his stagecraft.
Some fans believe Stonebwoy should be more mindful of his performances, especially after previously apologizing to his wife. They argue that repeating a similar act just months after the first controversy raises questions about the sincerity of his apology.
“If he truly meant his apology, why is he doing the same thing again?” one social media user questioned.
Others believe that as a married man and a public figure, he should set an example and avoid performances that could be seen as disrespectful to his wife.
On the other hand, others defend Stonebwoy, insisting that stage performances should not be mistaken for real-life actions. They argue that as an entertainer, he is simply delivering what fans expect from a dancehall artist.
Veteran musician Reggie Rockstone weighed in on the discussion, saying, “People need to understand the difference between entertainment and personal life. He is an artist, and this is what artists do.”
Some fans also compared Stonebwoy’s performance to those of international stars like Beyoncé, Jay-Z, and Chris Brown, who incorporate suggestive dance moves into their shows without controversy.
Despite the ongoing debate, Stonebwoy continues to thrill fans across North America with his Up & Running tour. The question remains—should he be more mindful of his performances, or is this just an overreaction from fans?
