Ghanaian musical artist, Ras Kuuku, has expressed his discontent with the outcome of the Female Vocalist of the Year category at the recent Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA). According to Ras Kuuku, Gyakie was the most deserving artist for the award, citing her impressive work in the year under review.
In an interview, Ras Kuuku lamented Gyakie’s loss, questioning the rationale behind the decision. “I think Gyakie should have won the Female Vocalist of the Year. She did a lot of work last year, especially with the songs she featured the boy (North London’s rap riser JBEE) who is coming from the UK. She did well but she had nothing, why is that so?” he asked, his tone laced with disappointment.
Ras Kuuku’s comments suggest that Gyakie’s talent and hard work were overlooked, sparking a conversation about the award’s credibility. The artist’s remarks have ignited a debate among music enthusiasts, with some agreeing with Ras Kuuku’s assessment and others defending the winner’s merit.
Gyakie’s snub has left many wondering if the awards truly reflect the industry’s best. Ras Kuuku’s vocal support for Gyakie has added fuel to the fire, highlighting the need for a more transparent and fair process in recognizing artistic excellence. As the music industry continues to evolve, the controversy surrounding the TGMA’s Female Vocalist of the Year award serves as a reminder of the importance of acknowledging and celebrating talent in a fair and just manner.
