Multiple award-winning dancehall artist, Samini, has expressed satisfaction with Ghana’s current leadership direction under President John Mahama, particularly the bold steps being taken by the judiciary to hold public officials accountable.
The artist praised what he sees as a shift toward transparency and justice in public service.
“As I speak to you currently, what we are seeing… I’m a happy Ghanaian. I like the fact that people are being brought to book and justice is being served — or it seems like justice is going to be served. Things like that, I am for.”

In a political climate often charged with partisanship and loyalty, Samini made it clear that his appreciation was rooted in principle, not personality. “I won’t sit here and be walking on eggshells because I think that maybe a certain favourite of mine might be in trouble,” he said.
“I believe that if you are put in public office, it’s your responsibility to serve Ghana and keep the public purse at heart. If you come and do anything dubious, you should be brought to book. I like that. Things like that, we like to see.”

Samini mentioned that the President and the judicial system are doing a good job so far. “That’s the area I’ve seen a lot of action. Anything else, I think, is too early to throw too much light on,” he added.
Though widely regarded as a socially conscious artist, Samini has rarely made pointed political statements on air.
His remarks signal a growing willingness to speak up about governance, integrity, and justice issues, he says transcend political colours.
He also left the door open to backing other political movements — but only if they earn it. “If the New Force political party comes out with policies that make me believe they stand a chance of giving us the best when it comes to governance and leadership, I’ll definitely go for that,” he said.
For now, though, the “Linda” hitmaker is enjoying what he sees as a positive shift in Ghana’s accountability culture. “We like to see people get called out for what they’ve done wrong. That’s how we build a better Ghana,” he stated.
Stonebwoy Surprises Samini on Live Television
It was an unforgettable moment when Stonebwoy, Ghana’s globally celebrated dancehall heavyweight, surprised his former mentor and long-time friend, Samini, on live television.
What started as a cheerful reunion quickly turned emotional as Stonebwoy held nothing back, speaking from the heart about what Samini truly means to him.
“I wish him long life, prosperity, and may his heart desires be met in its realist form,” Stonebwoy began, his voice laced with emotion.
He went beyond the typical showbiz praise, offering something far deeper, a glimpse into their unbreakable bond forged not just in music, but in life and family.
“He’s a big brother to me, and when I say big brother, I mean it in its real form. When somebody is your big brother, it’s deeper than when someone is just someone you work with.”

It was a rare, public affirmation from the dancehall icon, who has often been seen as a titan in his own right.
On the night, he was the younger brother paying homage to the man who gave him a platform, a name, and a foundation. “Over the years, we have still found the importance to stick together, irrespective,” he added. “That’s why family-wise, I refer to him as my big brother — because it is really what it is.”
For fans who have followed their journey, from Samini’s mentorship of a young Stonebwoy under the High Grade Family label to their occasional public disagreements, this moment felt like closure, healing, and love rolled into one.
Stonebwoy even shared a deeply personal reason behind his unwavering loyalty.
“I’ll be honest to say that he is one of the people who I say — anybody who didn’t meet my mother, I cannot take too personal. Because he met my mom. He met my dad. You know what I’m saying? Like… he’s my big brother.”

Samini was visibly moved. This was no staged TV moment. This was real, two legends, one bond, and a shared history that went beyond music, awards, and fame.
