Ghanaian rapper, Amerado, has appealed to the board of the Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA) to nominate his ‘Kwaku Ananse’ song for the most popular song category.
This comes shortly after the rapper questioned organisers of the award formally known as Vodafone Music Awards (VGMA), via X (formerly Twitter), on why they did not nominate his viral hit song, ‘Kweku Ananse’, during the unveiling of the nominee categories on March 28.
Dear @GHMusicAwards,
Why was Kwaku Ananse (original) not nominated?— THE HARDEST🤴🏾 (@Amerado_Burner) March 29, 2024
Speaking in an interview on HitzFM, Robert Klah, Head of Public Events and Communications for Charter House, commended the rapper and his team for reaching out to the organizers of the award scheme in time regarding the nomination snub.
“Amerado’s team has already contacted us. They moved from social media to contacting us directly and following what has to be done”, Klah said.
He also stated that the TGMA board has opened a one-week window to check “errors and omissions” hence, these checks, if done, will prove if Kweku Ananse will be included in the category.”
Mr. Klah also urged artists who might be worried about their nominations to seek clarification within the one-week grace period.
“If you feel strongly about your petition that you ought to be there, we support you 100%. Reach out to us and let’s make the necessary corrections and clarifications,” he added.
Amerado received two nominations; the best rap performance with his track ‘The Hardest’ and the Best Collaboration with ‘Kwaku Ananse’ remix featuring Fameye.
