Netizens have reacted to singer Wanlov's naked galamsey protest photo

Wanlov the Kubolor’s decision to publish a nude photo online as part of his protest against illegal mining has sparked heated reactions on social media.

On April 9, 2026, the image surfaced, capturing Wanlov standing in front of a waterfall, with the hashtag “Stop Galamsey.”

The viral photo has since drawn sharp criticism from many netizens, who have questioned the motive behind the act.

Some went as far as questioning his sanity, arguing that he could have chosen more decent means of protest.

Others, however, defended his approach, insisting that normal protest methods in Ghana rarely yield results.

To them, Wanlov’s unorthodox style might be more effective in drawing attention to the seriousness of the issue.

The Ghanaian way of protesting never really get anything done. We have to go the unorthodox way for them to see how serious we are
