Ghanaian dancehall artiste Stonebwoy has rejected the popular perception that Ghanaian men are stingy, explaining that their spending habits are often shaped by their financial realities and the need to plan carefully.

The award‑winning musician shared his views during an appearance on Madam Joyce’s Cocktails and Takeaways podcast, where he discussed relationships, money, and the expectations placed on men to spend on women.

According to Stonebwoy, describing Ghanaian men as stingy overlooks the financial considerations many men weigh before deciding whether they can afford a particular expense.

“Ghana boys are not stingy,” he said, noting that the narrative about Ghanaian men and spending has become widely accepted.

He argued that some men may be labelled stingy simply because they are unwilling or unable to spend beyond their means.

Stonebwoy suggested that financial expectations in relationships have shifted, with some women expecting men to provide money or gifts even when the men may not have the resources to meet those demands.

“I think, to be very honest, ladies of today want men to spend weytin them no have,” he said.

The musician advised men to be honest with themselves about what they can afford, rather than making promises based on expectations they may struggle to fulfil later.

He also noted that when a man willingly makes a financial commitment to his partner, he should be prepared to honour it and accept the responsibilities that come with that decision.

Stonebwoy further drew a comparison between Ghanaian and Nigerian men, suggesting that Nigerian men are often more willing to take financial risks when spending on women.

However, he stressed that spending habits ultimately differ from one individual to another and should not be used to define an entire group of men.

For Stonebwoy, the issue is less about being stingy and more about understanding one’s financial capacity, priorities, and the consequences of financial decisions.
