Ghanaian songstress Sista Afia has expressed her disappointment with the Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA) , formerly known as the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards, after not receiving a nomination in the recent nominees unveiling.
In a statement on her official Facebook page, Sista Afia conveyed her disappointment in the award scheme’s organisers, stating that despite her hard work in producing hit songs, she did not receive a nomination, while some artists who don’t even apply for nominations get nominated.
She urged the award scheme’s organizers to ensure fairness in their processes before it’s too late.
The musician also questioned the criteria behind the nominations, citing her track “Asuoden” from 2021 as an example of her overlooked efforts in the industry.
Taking to her official Facebook page, the musician wrote “Have I offended someone at the high table Ghana Music Awards ?? The fact that Asuoden was a big song in 2021 Zero nominations which I still don’t get. I learnt 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 soo hard. I’ve been quiet for soo long because i have respect for the scheme and I dont want to step on no one’s toes!”
