Fameye, speaking on Accra 100.5 FM’s midmorning show, Ayekoo Ayekoo, underscored the significance of the Ghana Music Awards trophy, asserting, “Having received a Ghana Music Awards trophy, I believe it holds more value than a Grammy or BET award.”
Reflecting on his past aspirations, Fameye recounted a time when he prioritized Grammy and BET awards, as highlighted in his song “Destiny,” especially during his earlier days when he was relatively unknown.
However, he revealed a shift in perspective after witnessing Ghanaian music icons like Kwaadee, Ofori Amponsah, and Kwaw Kese being honored with Ghana Music Awards, which he deemed as pivotal moments shaping his outlook.
“This is where I was born and raised. This is where I work, and this where when I perform in my native language, my fans are excited. The support that has made me who I am came from this country. And it is when you have massive support from your home country that you can rise to those desired heights,” he said.
Recognizing the prestige associated with winning a Grammy or BET award Fameye emphasized the crucial role of the Ghana Music Awards in strengthening the pride and backing of his fan base.
He envisioned a scenario where Ghanaian artists, honored by domestic awards, would leave a lasting impression on officials from the Recording Academy during their visits to Ghana.
“If I get a Grammy or BET, I’d be glad, but from now on, I’m saying Ghana Music Awards is heavier than the Grammys,” Fameye said, elaborating on his position.
He also emphasized that he is satisfied with his Ghana Music Awards, whether or not he receives a Grammy in his lifetime.
