British-Ghanaian Rising Afrobeats singer Manye Fi set X ablaze on Sunday when she declared, "If Asake sold out the O2 with Yoruba, Manye Fi can sell out the O2 with Ga." The tweet racked up more than 160,000 views, in under two days, trending in both Ghana and the UK Ga-diaspora circles.
Within hours, heavyweight dancehall star Stonebwoy known affectionately as 1 Gad - dropped a two-word reply, "Powerful..
Resilience 🫡🇬🇭." The cosign prompted Manye Fi to double-down: "If 1 Gad approves, it is sealed." Fellow Ga songstress Cina Soul quietly amplified the post with a retweet, signalling a growing coalition of Ga-language hit-makers determined to push their mother-tongue onto global stages.
Musicians and fans piled in via quote-tweets.
