The 20,000-capacity University of Ghana Sports Stadium in Accra was packed for the final day of this year's continental multi-sport event hosted in Ghana, and the crowd was left wanting more after the globally acclaimed touring artist delivered a breathtaking immersive 10-song set performance.
He ran through songs like "Manodzi," "Kpokeke," "Higher," "Activate," "Therapy," "Overlord," "Bawasaba," "Apotheke," and "Into the Future," bringing his upbeat vibes and distinctive blend of dancehall, reggae, and afrobeats to the stadium. This resulted in an incredible show that delighted both the crowd in the stadium and those watching at home.
The excitement in the stadium doubled as he introduced his new Nigerian partner, ODUMODUBLVCK, for the world premiere of their unheard song "Ekelebe."
The multi-award-winning singer, songwriter, and performer is a household name throughout the African continent and is widely acknowledged for being the inspiration and driving force behind Afrodancehall's rise to international prominence. She has wowed enormous crowds in Africa, the US, Europe, and beyond. Even though he has achieved success on larger platforms and released huge worldwide songs like "Into the Future," "Activate," and "Shuga," his career really took off when he performed for this sizable crowd at the 2023 African Games closing ceremony.
Prior to his performance at the Africa Games closing ceremony, Stonebwoy was named the winner of the 41st International Reggae & World Music Awards 2024, which were recently ended in Jamaica, under the category of "Best African Dancehall Entertainer." This honor joins an amazing list of prior IRAWMA victories for him, which also includes "Best African Dancehall Entertainer" in 2020 and "Most Promising Artiste" in 2016.
