Ghanaian dancehall artiste, Stonebwoy, has sparked a conversation on social responsibility and generosity after publicly denouncing the practice of throwing money at fans. In a recent interview on Ark 107.1 FM, Stonebwoy shared his thoughts on why he believes this act, often seen as a generous gesture, is actually disrespectful and unproductive.
According to Stonebwoy, throwing money at fans can lead to uneven distribution, where some individuals may receive more than others, while some may not receive anything at all. He emphasized that this approach fails to achieve its intended purpose of giving and showing appreciation.
Instead, Stonebwoy shared his own approach to giving back to his fans. When he’s with his team, he takes the time to identify specific individuals and hand them money directly. This way, he ensures that his generosity is targeted and effective.
Stonebwoy’s comments have ignited a debate on social media, with some agreeing that throwing money at fans can be dehumanizing and disrespectful, while others see it as a harmless act of kindness. Regardless, Stonebwoy’s words highlight the importance of considering the impact of our actions on others and finding more thoughtful ways to show appreciation and give back to our communities.
