Many people on social media noted that if Stonebwoy had been dropped from the artist lineup, the event would not have been for all Ghanaians but for those affiliated with the NDC.
Others also argued that since Stonebwoy did not pledge his allegiance to the NDC, he did not deserve to share the stage with musicians such as Kwen Kwen hitmaker Nacee, Mzbel, and others who had pledged their affiliation to the party.
