The organizers of the annual Ghana Music Awards sponsored by telecom giants Vodafone have officially released the nominations for this yearļæ½s awards at a short ceremony at the La Palm Royal Beach Hotel in Accra on Saturday.
Ghanaļæ½s hottest artiste and last yearļæ½s VGMA artiste of the year, Sarkodie, failed to get the nod at this yearļæ½s Vodafone Ghana Music Awards. However, he has been nominated for best rapper and finds his name in three other categories.
Sarkodie has not publicly reacted to his omission from the artiste of the year category but Totalshowbiz.com can confirm that his management is preparing to release an official statement on that by Monday.
In an interview with Sammy Forson, he told Totalshowbiz that management of Sarkodie has been receiving lots of questions on the subject matter and theyļæ½d release a formal statement by Monday to address whatever issues are there.
Sarkodieļæ½s omission has attracted some public disaffection for the Ghana Music Awards. YFM presenter, Giovanni Caleb, has expressed his misgivings about the whole issue.
ļæ½..As expected the debate is on for the VGMA nominee list for the year. Hmmm nsem pii.. Sad at how its looking like. Sarkodie (bEt award winner) missing in Artiste of the year list. How?ļæ½
ļæ½.Unless a nomination for him means picking up the award to u. Not nominating him means heļæ½s not improved/played any show at all or was literally sitting at home all these while ( year under review). Itļæ½s simply not fair. Itļæ½s not fair to deprive him of that category while artistes like D-black and Kwawļæ½ Make it on there. Iļæ½m not saying he should be in there because heļæ½s taken BET ļæ½ NO!!!! Letļæ½s just make our only award system which appreciates our own more credible. Period.ļæ½ he said.
Do you think itļæ½s fair that Sarkodie didnļæ½t make the artiste of the year shortlist?
