Dancehall artiste Stonebwoy has reacted to claims his performance at the 2020 Soundcity MVP awards received a cold reception from the Nigerian audience.

Speaking on 3FM, the artiste said contrary to popular opinion his performance was “electrifying”.

According to him, the award show had the best of the best there hence the reaction.

“My performance was one of the best for the night. The people loved it but from what you saw, it’s not what will indicate as the usual Stonebwoy show would have been like,” the ‘’Shuga’ hitmaker stated.

Many Ghanaians, earlier this month, took to Twitter to share their surprise after a video of Stonebwoy and Kuami Eugene’s performance at the award show went viral.

Some of the music fans after spotting the video said that the crowd’s reaction proved the assertion that Nigerians have little respect for Ghanaian music and/or know very little about it.

And this is Kuami Eugene too...Ghana we no reach for Nigeria 😢 pic.twitter.com/urXdHTN2Zx

However, some Nigerians jumped to the defence of the audience explaining that they relate to Ghanaian music from a section of the industry.

“Looking at this video there’s only thing that pop up, they wanna support just Naija acts. My Ghana 🇬🇭 people, it’s about time we also emulate such attitudes o. Especially when their acts come over here let’s also exhibit the same to them,” another Ghanaian wrote.

More work needs to be done. Nobody vibes to a song they don't know. They might know the artist but not their songs. Instead of this energy why don't the industry come together to push the music farther than where it is now. Break new boundaries, conquer new grounds not just ghana

Is nigeria the only African country? If they don”™t want our music, there are still 52 other countries in Africa. Forget them and move on.

Dude, nobody is under any obligation to cheer anybody up. This entitlement of yours is laughable. I'm Ghanaian and I won't cheer just about any Ghanaian artiste just because they make music. I've got to LIKE their music FIRST.

My respect just moved a level up for him. He didn”™t let their energy affect him. Obviously maintaining his composure and having fun on stage. Big ups @stonebwoyb https://t.co/EVMpnJgswB

Stonebwoy cautioned people to be careful about how quick they are in making judgements without getting the full picture of the situation.

He added that he expected some level of understanding from the public.

“We have to be very mindful of a lot of things to be able to continue to speak or judge,” he said.
