Afrobeats sensation King Promise is optimistic about clinching the ‘Artiste of the Year‘ title at the upcoming 25th Telecel Ghana Music Awards.
In a recent interview on Hitz FM’s ‘Daybreak Hitz’ on May 23, 2024, he voiced confidence in winning all six categories he’s been nominated for, including ‘Afrobeats Artiste of the Year’, ‘Most Popular Song of the Year’, and ‘International Collaboration of the Year’ for his hits ‘Terminator 2’ and ‘Perfect Combi’, as well as ‘Best Afropop Song of the Year’.
When asked to choose between himself and fellow nominee Stonebwoy for the top award, King Promise confidently asserted his deservedness.
“There comes a time where things change, the boys become men, you might have to even go against your legends, so I mean no disrespect but I deserve it,” he stated.
Expressing certainty about his prospects, he admitted he would be “hundred percent” surprised if he lost the ‘Artiste of the Year’ category, highlighting the immense effort and success of his recent releases. “We’ve done one hell of a job,” he added.
“I am not blowing my horn or saying stuff but I feel that this is one of the awards that everyone has spoken about the most in a very long time because you can tell what we have done with all our releases in the past year and the work we’ve put in just representing the motherland to the rest of the world and worthy face of Ghana music.”
King Promise is up against formidable competition, including Stonebwoy, Kuami Eugene, Sarkodie, Nacee, and Black Sherif.
Fresh off his Asian tour, he has also released a new track titled ‘Favourite Story’, featuring Sarkodie and Olivetheboy.
The 25th Telecel Ghana Music Awards will take place at the Accra International Conference Centre on June 1, 2025.
