Ghanaian hiplife legend Reggie Rockstone has come to the defence of dancehall superstar Stonebwoy, who is facing backlash after a provocative performance during his ongoing ‘Up and Running’ North American tour.
The controversy emerged after a video surfaced online showing Stonebwoy erotically grinding on a female dancer during a show in Chicago, Illinois.
This type of performance is not new for Stonebwoy, who has previously danced intimately with performers during shows, including a notable moment with Jamaican dancehall queen Spice in Ghana.
Although such acts have frequently stirred debates on social media, Stonebwoy maintains that these dance routines are part of his artistic expression and stage presence.
However, after the recent video went viral, some fans accused Stonebwoy of disrespecting his marriage.
Comments criticising him quickly spread online, with one user stating: “Absolutely no respect for his marriage.”
Responding to the backlash, Reggie Rockstone defended Stonebwoy by drawing parallels to professional performances in other industries.
He argued that Stonebwoy was simply performing his role as an entertainer and compared it to actors portraying love scenes in movies. “When Denzel does a love scene in a movie, do you honestly believe he doesn’t respect his wife of so many years? Lol,” Rockstone commented.
Rockstone’s defence has sparked further conversations on social media, with some supporting Stonebwoy’s right to artistic freedom while others insist that public figures should consider the potential impact of their actions on their personal lives.
As the tour continues, Stonebwoy seems unfazed by the criticism, choosing instead to focus on delivering energetic performances to his international audience.
