Ghanaian reggae/dancehall artist, Stonebwoy has received international recognition after his song was featured in a recent video from the English Premier League club West Ham United.
Black Stars attacker Mohammed Kudus scored his first goal in the Premier League against Ipswich Town on Saturday, October 5, 2024, in a game West Ham won by four to one.
West Ham shared a video on TikTok that captured the Ghanaian footballer displaying his trademark celebration of sitting on a chair with his back towards the fans after scoring his goal.
The video also featured Stonebwoy’s latest music collaboration, ‘Jejereje’, with Dutch guitarist and music producer Ginton as the background sound.
The dancehall musician released the song on major digital music streaming platforms at midnight on Tuesday, September 24, 2024. ‘Jejereje’ has since become a smash hit and has generated a lot of buzz on social media.
Stonebwoy became the latest Ghanaian artist after his rival Shatta Wale to have his song featured in a video from West Ham’s social media team.
