Reggae icon Hezron has acknowledged Stonebwoy’s popularity in Jamaica, praising the “Into the Future” singer as the only Ghanaian musician he is familiar with.
In an interview on Asempa FM, Hezron highlighted Stonebwoy’s significant presence in Jamaica, stating, “I only know about Stonebwoy and some Afrobeats stars like Davido and Burna Boy.
It’s only Stonebwoy I hear of in Jamaica; he’s very popular.”
Hezron, currently in Ghana until January 2024, expressed his interest in collaborating with Ghanaian musicians he encounters during his visit, sponsored by Goodies Music, Lynnex Ventures, 3G Media Group, and Gorjiors International.
“I’m supposed to collaborate with Wutah Afriyie and Ras Kuuku,” he announced. “I will also be shooting a music video while I’m here.”
Earlier, Hezron paid a courtesy call to the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, as part of his plans to tour Ghana.
Clarke has revealed that he has traced his ancestry to Ghana, specifically the Ashanti kingdom.
This revelation came to light during his appearance at the Akwasidae festival, where he was formally introduced to the Asantehene by a royal spokesperson.
Wearing a kente cloth and accompanied by his entourage, Clarke expressed his desire to be accepted as one of the sons of the soil and requested to be given a local name.
“Thank you for welcoming me into my motherland. Many of my ancestors, freedom fighters, never lived to see what I am seeing now. I am blessed for this moment; I am honoured to be here. I am proud of the king. Nananom, medamoase,” he said, while addressing the chiefs and elders.
He was then given the local name ‘Kwame Bonsu’, by the Asantehene.
