KiDi, Kweku Smoke, Black Sherif and Stonebwoy
Long before they became some of Ghana’s biggest music stars, Black Sherif, KiDi, Stonebwoy and Kweku Smoke were just young artistes trying to get noticed on social media.
Their very first tweets, now buried beneath years of chart-topping releases and millions of followers, offer a nostalgic glimpse into the early days of their careers and ambitions.
Black Sherif
He officially joined X, formerly known as Twitter, on July 23, 2019, and wasted no time introducing himself to the world.
In his first-ever tweet at 4:22 p.m., the then-budding musician passionately promoted his song ‘Cry For Me’ while pleading for support.
“Hello People , I’m @blacksherif_ … Kindly Tag Everyone To See This. #supporttheyouth #cryforme…”
He also tagged several notable personalities and industry figures, including Sarkodie, Nana Aba Anamoah, Bridget Otoo, Kwesi Arthur, Pono and Ground Up Chale, hoping they would help amplify his music.
KiDi
KiDi’s first tweet, however, was far less about promotion.
On August 4, 2011, at 7:22 a.m., the singer simply greeted the Twitter community with the now-classic post: “Gd a.m. tWeePs.”

Kweku Smoke
The rapper’s Twitter journey began on April 4, 2013, with a short but confident message
“Now we here,” a statement that, years later, feels almost prophetic given his rise in Ghana’s rap scene.
Stonebwoy
Stonebwoy’s ‘first tweet dates even further back. On January 15, 2010, the dancehall artiste wrote entirely in capital letters, announcing the arrival of new music with the confidence of an ambitious newcomer.
“DUE TO RELEASE ANOTHER SINGLE HIT. THEN D DEBUT FOLLOWS. WATCHOUT 4 D FINEST YOUNGEST DANCEHALL YOUTH FROM GHANA…”
Years later, these simple posts have become digital time capsules, capturing a moment before sold-out concerts, award wins, and international recognition.
They serve as a reminder that every successful journey starts somewhere, sometimes with nothing more than a hopeful tweet sent into the world.
