Singer Stephanie Benson‘s claim that Ghanaian Dancehall artiste, Stonebwoy is a household name in the UK is untrue, says Jon Benjamin, former British Ambassdor to Ghana.
Benjamin made the statement on Twitter in response to an interview Benson granted on e.tvGhana’s Late Night Celebrity Show.
“Stonebwoy is big in the UK, everybody knows about him there but the others are not so known there. I went for my radio tour just before I came with the song ‘One More’, and a couple of my songs ‘Goodbye and ‘Good Feeling’ and everybody was asking me do you know Stonebwoy and said yes!,” stated Benson recently.
“I mean he and Mr Eazi are pretty much the only two acts they know in my ‘circle’ and not the Ghanaian circle because they know a lot of other acts obviously, but over there it was just Stonebwoy and I was thinking wow and actually M.anifest also. I did not mention Fuse ODG because obviously he is a worldwide brand.”

This Jon Benjamin guy, what is his problem. Fire burn the crook
this @Jon Benjamin guy must have a low & boring life to be always poking his abenkwan face into Ghana affairs. @JonBenjamin - do you still love Ghana too much because of the ladies of the Night aka (a-s-h-a-w-o) around Togo Embassy Roundabout you picked & slept with. Like they say Get a Life. No wonder you were recalled back before your term was up.
This comment is obliviously is for those who love and follow music. It may not necessarily include Your family and friends. Jon Benjamin can be described as a household name in Ghana but it's not all manner of persons who knows him so come again, you've not disproved the guy with any solid evidence.
Of course, if you use words wrongly you will be corrected. If one person asked if you knew Stoneboy, would that mean a household. Household name, what does it mean? Household names are Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar, Ronaldinho, Usain Bolt, Mohammed Ali, Pele, Rihanna, Beyounce, Denzel W, Will Smith, Serena, Federa etc.
