Trigmatic did the same: “Congrats sis. Well deserved.”
Jon Benjamin, on the other hand, described Wiyaala as a ‘huge international star’ but isn’t ‘appreciated at home [Ghana]’.
“Quite right too - @Wiyaala is a huge international star for Ghana, which is arguably something not fully realised and appreciated at home,” he tweeted.
