‘They are not in the right frame of mind’ - Stonebwoy fires back at critics over ‘cripple’ insults

Ghanaian dancehall artiste Stonebwoy has criticised people who continue to refer to him as a “cripple”, saying those who use his physical condition against him are “not in the right frame of mind”.

Stonebwoy made the comments during an appearance on the BBC’s This Is Africa, where he opened up about the accident that changed his life, his long-term physical challenges and his journey to becoming one of Africa’s leading dancehall artistes.

He made the comments on the BBC’s This Is Africa ahead of his BHIM Festival headline show at OVO Arena Wembley on August 15, 2026.
