Impressed by his success, Stonebwoy lauded Marghuy in the comments section, highlighting how the young man defied stereotypes associated with Rastafarians.
As a gesture of celebration, Stonebwoy generously offered 10 VIP tickets to Marghuy and his friends for his upcoming BHIM Concert at the Accra Sports Stadium on December 22. “Congratulations – This Continues to Defy The Odds That All Rastas Are Up To No Good. 10 VIP tickets for You And Friends- Letβs celebrate On Friday at the Stadium,” the Gidigba hitmaker expressed.
Marghuy, appreciating Stonebwoy’s gesture, replied with gratitude, accepting the invitation to the BHIM Concert.
Thank you so much πππ₯³π₯³
Much appreciated πππ₯³π₯³π₯— Tyrone Iras Marhguy (@marhguy_tyrone) December 19, 2023
The Achimota School admission saga involving Marghuy gained attention as he and another student, Oheneba Nkrabea, were initially denied entry due to their dreadlocks. After a legal battle, Marghuy was eventually admitted, asserting the right of Rastafarian students to maintain their hairstyles.
Stonebwoy’s flagship BHIM Concert, titled ‘The 7th Dimension Homecoming β Ashaiman to the World Festival,’ is scheduled for Friday, December 22, 2023, at the Accra Sports Stadium.
