Dancehall musician, Stonebwoy, has applauded Meek Mill for officially apologizing to the good people of Ghana when he was rebuked for filming a music video at Ghana’s presidential palace.

The award-winning singer shared saying;
“This would probably be the first time I’m speaking about that because I’ve not necessarily tried to stay away from that comment truth be told, I couldn’t come to the states and go to the White House and do whatever I want to except there’s a certain amount of leeway that I could do stuff”.

He maintained that security at the Jubilee House should have done its job by guiding Meek Mill through the rules and regulations in the area.
Stonebwoy defended saying;
“I don’t think it was a big deal but the internet went crazy and he did what he had to do. It was the job of the protocol and the security personnel to make sure that ‘we don’t film over here’…he is excited”.
