Stonebwoy has revealed on social media that he is being held in South Africa because he failed to pay Ghanaian officials $150 for a corona test – the reason why he is not back in Ghana.
According to the award-winning dancehall artiste, he had paid an amount of 600 Rands in less than 24 hours for the same test only for them to demand another $150 for the same test.
“I Pay 600 Rands to do corona test in SA less than 24hrs to fly back to GH.. But authorities in SA insist I Provide POP which is $150 mandatory corona test fee required by the Ghana authorities without Which I’m Not Boarding under the same 24hrs.. I’m confused.” Stonebwoy wrote on Twitter.
After his tweet, some netizens attacked him for coming out to complain about paying $150 which to them is just peanut for someone of his caliber especially when he is always making noise about making money from online streaming.
Meanwhile, one of the followers with the handle “official HUBI U Musik”, jumped to the defence of Stonebwoy and he even got a thumbs up from the Dancehall artiste himself.

It would be recalled that President Nana Akufo-Addo in one of his messages during his COVID-19 address to the state, tasked anyone flying to Ghana to undergo a mandatory coronavirus test at the airport.
Reports from the airport suggested that the cost of the test costs $150, an amount some travellers deem too high since other countries where paying less for the same test.
