Spice Visits Ghana: A Cross-Cultural Collaboration with Stonebwoy

Spice’s visit to Ghana in November 2024 is part of a larger narrative of cultural and musical collaboration between Africa and the Caribbean. She arrived to shoot a music video with Ghanaian reggae-dancehall artist Stonebwoy for their song "Jiggle & Whine", a vibrant track that combines the rhythmic elements of both Jamaican dancehall and Ghanaian Afrobeat styles. The video shoot underscores the shared history and mutual influences of the two genres, as both countries continue to celebrate their cultural ties.

Upon arrival, Spice was welcomed warmly at Kotoka International Airport by fans and Stonebwoy himself. This gesture highlighted the excitement surrounding the collaboration, as the project is expected to create waves in both the Ghanaian and international music scenes. Speaking about her trip, Spice shared her enthusiasm for exploring Ghana’s rich culture while working on a creative project that bridges continents.

Apart from the music video, Spice’s presence also reflects the growing trend of global artists choosing Ghana as a destination for their projects. Ghana has emerged as a cultural hotspot, with events like Afrochella and Year of Return bringing international attention to the nation’s creative industry. Artists from the diaspora, including Spice, have used their platforms to celebrate African heritage and foster connections.

Her collaboration with Stonebwoy marks a significant moment in cross-cultural exchange, strengthening ties between Africa and the Caribbean. The project is a testament to the universal language of music and the role Ghana plays in its promotion on a global scale.

Below are some of the controversial statements she made:

• She first heard of Ghana through Stonebwoy

• She is single and ready to mingle with a neat and rich guy from either Nima or Ashaima.

• Stonebwoy sounds more of Jamaican

• She only knows about Stonebwoy as the only dancehall artiste in Ghana.

Spice seems to be happy with the Ghanaian culture when she took to the street to hawk plantain chips for the first time. After experiencing how the hawkers on the street sell their produce gave $400 to the plantain chips seller in stead of GHC 10.00.
