Ghanaian reggae and dancehall artist Stonebwoy is set to appear on the soundtrack of the upcoming Hollywood action-comedy film Boyz Trip, scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release in 2027.
The track, titled “Wrong Toes,” also features Hero The Band and Mashanda Favors. Production on the official music video for the song has been completed in Cape Town, South Africa. Filming took place at Cape Town Film Studios, with the project linked to the film’s director and producer Kyle Scott (also referred to in some reports as Kay Scott).
The announcement was made public on 28 October 2026 by Vida Adutwumwaa Boateng, head of public relations for Burniton Music Group, Stonebwoy’s label. She described the collaboration as an official confirmation that connects African music with international cinema.
Boyz Trip is an action-comedy directed by Kyle Scott. The story follows four college friends who grow tired of their usual yearly meet-ups and decide on a boys’ getaway. The trip quickly spirals into international chaos, forcing the group to rely on old bonds, questionable skills and luck to survive. Principal photography took place in Cape Town, South Africa.
The Film Cast
The film features an international cast that includes Emmy winner Rome Flynn, Algee Smith, comedian and actor Desi Banks, and South African actor Siv Ngesi in leading roles. Additional cast members announced earlier in 2026 include Osas Ighodaro, Woody McClain, Hakeem Kae-Kazim, Ama K. Abebrese, Ama Qamata, Thapelo Mokoena, Bohang Moeko and others drawn from Hollywood, Nollywood and the South African film industry. Emmy-nominated composers Kareem James and Marcus Ash are attached to the score.
Stonebwoy, whose real name is Livingstone Etse Satekla, is one of Africa’s leading figures in reggae and dancehall. He is the founder and CEO of Burniton Music Group and has built a career that spans Afropop, Afrobeats, reggae and dancehall. He has won major awards including Best International Act: Africa at the BET Awards and Artiste of the Year at the Ghana Music Awards on multiple occasions. He has also received Billboard recognition and achieved significant streaming milestones.
The inclusion of “Wrong Toes” on the Boyz Trip soundtrack marks a notable crossover moment for the Ghanaian artist. It places his music within a major theatrical film project that brings together talent from multiple continents. The music video production in Cape Town aligns with the film’s primary shooting location, creating a direct visual and creative link between the soundtrack single and the movie.
Public Reaction
Fan accounts and associates of the artist shared images and behind-the-scenes footage from the Cape Town shoot in late October 2026, showing Stonebwoy on set for the final stages of the video. The project has been framed as a fusion of music, film and cinematic storytelling.
For African artists, placements on international film soundtracks remain relatively selective opportunities that can expand reach beyond traditional music markets. Stonebwoy’s contribution follows a pattern of Ghanaian and broader African musicians increasingly appearing in global entertainment projects, whether through film, advertising or collaborative releases.
The film is being produced by Autumn Bailey-Ford for Autumn Bailey Entertainment, with Kyle Scott executive-producing through KeyScott Entertainment and Canyon View Media. Production was underway in Cape Town during the first half of 2026, with cast announcements continuing through April of that year.
Details on the exact release date of the “Wrong Toes” single and its music video have not yet been finalised publicly, though the video production has now wrapped. The film itself is positioned for a 2027 theatrical rollout on a worldwide basis.
Stonebwoy’s involvement adds a prominent African voice to the project’s soundtrack. His established international profile, combined with the film’s diverse cast and South African production base, positions the collaboration as a bridge between Ghanaian music and mainstream Hollywood-adjacent cinema.
As the 2027 release window approaches, further information on the full soundtrack and promotional plans is expected. For now, the confirmation of Stonebwoy’s feature on “Wrong Toes” stands as a significant development for the artist and for the growing intersection of African music with global film projects.
