Twene Jonas is an activist turned musician who has serially used social media postings to show the glossy part of New York City whiles slamming what he terms ills bedeviling the Ghanaian society.

Some government officials in September 2021 reportedly ‘stormed’ Jonas’ base in New York to expose him.

He went off social media for about two weeks but resurfaced with the excuse that he was working on his music hence the absence.
