Stonebwoy Opens Up on His Children’s Reaction to His Music Videos

Ghanaian Afro-dancehall artiste Stonebwoy has revealed that some of his children do not enjoy watching his music videos because they are uncomfortable with the presence of female models featured in them.

The award-winning musician said his children have become closely connected to his creative process and often pay attention to the decisions he makes in his music career.

Speaking in an interview with BBC Africa, Stonebwoy explained that his daughter sometimes questions why women appear around him in his music videos.

“My daughter will watch a music video and tell her mom, ‘Why is this girl around my dad?’ She actually hates that,” he said.

According to the “Nominate” hitmaker, his children have grown up around music because they frequently spend time with him in the studio. Their exposure to his work has allowed them to understand the creative process and even contribute ideas.

Stonebwoy recalled recording his song “Silent Samurai” while his children were present in the studio. He said they quickly adapted to understanding what he was doing, despite their young ages.

“The time I recorded Silent Samurai in the studio, they were there, and they’ve quickly adapted to what their dad does, even at the ages of seven and eight,” he explained.

The musician added that his son once listened carefully to one of his songs and suggested a slight adjustment to one of the lines because he believed it would make the song better.

Stonebwoy noted that the early exposure to music has influenced his children’s ambitions, revealing that his son has expressed interest in becoming a musician like him.

He said when his son is asked about his future plans, he confidently says he wants to pursue music.

Beyond music and family, Stonebwoy also raised concerns about the growing lack of privacy faced by public figures.

The musician criticised the habit of people taking photos or recording celebrities without seeking permission, describing it as an increasing problem in society.

“One thing that actually annoys me is the invasion of privacy becoming a normal part of society. Anybody who sees you anywhere pulls out a phone first. There’s no, ‘Hello, can I please take a picture?’” he said.

Stonebwoy acknowledged that many people act out of excitement, but stressed that celebrities are also human beings who deserve respect and personal space.

“The excuse is that it’s out of excitement, but we are humans as well. When the tables turn, nobody is doing that to them,” he added.
