During a livestream, a Ghanaian man encountered popular social media personality Twene Jonas on the streets of America and made a disturbing threat. The man claimed he could hire hitmen for just $500 to “take out” Jonas due to his frequent insults against Ghanaian leaders and some elderly people.
Twene Jonas, known for his outspoken criticism of Ghanaian governance and societal issues, was conducting one of his regular livestreams when the confrontation occurred. The man, visibly agitated, confronted Jonas and issued the threat, causing an immediate uproar among viewers.
The incident quickly went viral, prompting a wave of reactions from netizens. Many condemned the threat and expressed concern over the escalating tensions surrounding Jonas’s controversial commentary.

Another user wrote, “He is a cab driver threatening someone. If Ghana was a good country for him, why is he there working as a cab driver and not stay in Ghana to continue with his gold dealings.”
The incident has highlighted the deep divisions within the Ghanaian community regarding Jonas’s approach to social and political commentary. While some appreciate his candidness and advocacy for accountability, others feel his methods are disrespectful and inflammatory.
