Ghanaian rapper Criss Waddle has made headlines by donating GH₵2,000 to TikTok content creator Famela GH, recognizing his efforts in promoting Ghanaian music.
Famela GH, known for his engaging videos covering classic Ghanaian hits, recently performed Criss Waddle’s 2016 collaboration with Stonebwoy, “Bie Gya,” which garnered significant attention online.
In a gesture of appreciation, Criss Waddle sent the monetary gift via mobile money, accompanied by a message encouraging continued support for Ghanaian musicians: “Bro, take this 2000 buy data.
Thanks for the support. Keep supporting every musician in Ghana. Let’s push the Ghana music 1st agenda.”

These gestures have sparked discussions about the importance of supporting content creators who contribute to the music industry’s growth.
Criss Waddle’s donation has been met with widespread praise, highlighting the positive impact of artists recognizing and supporting grassroots promoters of their work.
