Afrobeats artist Olive The Boy has raised concerns regarding his nominations for the upcoming Telecel Ghana Music Awards, advocating for inclusion in additional categories.
Despite receiving three nominations, including Best New Artiste of the Year, Most Popular Song of the Year, and Best Afrobeats Song of the Year, the ‘Goodsin’ crooner believes he is eligible for two more categories.
During an interview on TV3, Olive The Boy disclosed that his management has petitioned the scheme to consider him for Album/EP of the Year and Best Afrobeats Artiste of the Year.
Highlighting the significance of his EP ‘Goodsin’ and his expertise in the Afrobeats genre, Olive The Boy stressed the importance of recognition in these additional categories.
Robert Klah, Charterhouse’s Public Relations Officer, encouraged artists with concerns about their nominations to seek clarification, promising support for necessary adjustments and clarifications.
Echoing Olive The Boy’s sentiments, other artists like Amerado have also appealed to the awards’ organizers, seeking clarification on nomination decisions, such as Amerado’s song ‘Kweku Ananse’ not being nominated for Most Popular Song of the Year.
