Ghanaian songstress Sista Afia has voiced her dismay at the organizers of the Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA), labeling their treatment of her as unjust.
The musician expressed feeling disrespected by the scheme for several years, despite her consistent efforts and dedication to her craft.
Taking to Facebook, she questioned if she had wronged anyone to warrant such unfair treatment. Sista Afia recounted how her popular 2021 hit ‘Asuoden’ was overlooked, despite its significant impact on the music scene at the time.
She also expressed confusion over why some artists who failed to submit their work for consideration were nominated in categories, while others who submitted received no recognition.
She wrote: “Have I offended someone at the high table Ghana Music Awards? The fact that Asuoden was a big song in 2021 had Zero nominations which I still don’t get. I learned people don’t even file for nominations but get nominations. The downplay on my efforts ever since I started doing music in Ghana hasn’t been fair to my craft and yes, it hurts because I work so hard. I’ve been quiet for so long because I have respect for the scheme and I don’t want to step on anyone’s toes!”
