Stonebwoy has spoken out about what he sees as a troubling culture developing on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, calling out users who thrive on hostility and constant criticism.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with 1957News, the Ghanaian dancehall artiste voiced frustration with how some people behave online. He described the recurring backlash and harsh commentary on the platform as “stupidity,” suggesting that many users treat social media as a space to parade ignorance. Despite the criticism directed at him, he maintained that online trolling does not unsettle him.
He stressed that the steady stream of negativity offers little value to national discourse and urged users to rethink the way they engage online, particularly when criticism lacks merit or constructive purpose.
“I am confident and not scared of trolls. I made that statement because that is the reality. People use Twitter as a garbage dump where they come to express all their stupidity.
“I have come to understand that what some people do on Instagram, they do not do on X. I am also of the school of thought that this behaviour is common on the platform, and we can all attest to it. I do not think being internationally known for trolls and negativity will take us anywhere,” he said.
His remarks come on the heels of comments he made during the recently concluded African Prosperity Dialogue 2026, where he addressed recurring online attacks aimed at both his public image and his family.
During his appearance at the summit, Stonebwoy also revealed his disappointment over the extent of online criticism, noting that some social media users have gone as far as dragging his children into the conversation.
