Moliy won an award, Sarkodie congratulated her, Stonebwoy congratulated her, and somehow the internet still managed to manufacture a fight.
The Ghanaian singer has had enough of fans turning what should be a beautiful moment into another episode of the never-ending fan-base wars.
After winning the prestigious Song of the Year award at the 2026 Caribbean Music Awards, Moliy received congratulatory messages from two of Ghana’s biggest music stars, Sarkodie and Stonebwoy.
Instead of simply celebrating the young star’s international achievement, however, some social media users quickly turned the congratulatory messages into ammunition for their ongoing online battles.
When Sarkodie congratulated Moliy, some critics reportedly dismissed his gesture and labeled him a “tap-in merchant.”
Then Stonebwoy joined the celebration with his own message, and, naturally, the internet detectives were back at work, waiting to see whether the dancehall star would receive the same treatment.
At that point, Moliy decided enough was enough.
Taking to X, the singer delivered a blunt reality check to the people turning her big moment into another episode of fan-base warfare.
“If they congratulate it’s an issue, if they don’t it’s an issue, y’all need to touch grass,” she wrote.
And honestly, the message did not require a second verse.
Moliy went on to appreciate everyone who was genuinely happy to see her succeed, signing off with a simple message of unity and the hashtag #onelove.
Her frustration highlights a familiar problem in Ghana’s music conversation, where even innocent interactions between artists can quickly become ammunition for rival fan groups.
A congratulatory message becomes a conspiracy.
A simple comment becomes a loyalty test.
And before you know it, someone is writing a 47-tweet thread explaining why saying “congratulations” is actually part of a hidden agenda.
Meanwhile, the artist who actually won the award is standing there wondering what happened to simply celebrating.
Moliy’s achievement represents a significant moment for Ghanaian music on an international platform, and her message is clear: not every congratulatory post needs a courtroom, a jury and a fan-base war.
Sometimes, an award is just an award.
A congratulations is just a congratulations.
And yes, according to Moliy, some people desperately need to touch grass.
