Medikal deserved the new artiste of the year not Fancy Gaddam...
congratulations Pastor Joe mettle, for being the first gospel artists to ever win such an award.
what happened to the nations song? ONAAPO
You refuse to accept Onaapo because it was a political song, but accepted GodMc which is a diss song.I thing a song makes the artists, so if a song can win a song of the year in any category but the artists lost out in that same category. The organizers should come again.
Has Bisa Kdei lost confidence and trust in the organisers of the Awards and for that matter refused to send entries?
Well done, vodafone n peacefm for declaring de artiste of de: Mettle n Kinaata congrate,waiting to hear de name of Mark Anim Yirenkyi.
Thank God for a successful awards might. We are happy Joe Mettle
