TGMA: Amerado’s Kwaku Ananse Nominated Most Popular Song
“The management of both artistes pointed out that ‘Lonely Road’ was a joint project by O’Kenneth and Xlim Kid and not a feature. The Board noted this and has thus corrected the nomination to reflect ‘Lonely Road, by O’Kenneth and Xlim Kid.”
The Board members of the 25th Ghana Music Awards have announced a review of the nominations to include Amerado’s “Kwaku Ananse” in the Most Popular Song of the Year category.
According to a statement issued by the Board after a one-week window for errors and omissions on April 15, the remix version of “Kwaku Ananse” was considered instead of the original one, thereby resulting in its omission from the Most Popular Song of the Year category initially.
“The Board has reviewed this and consequently nominated ‘Kwaku Ananse’ by Amerado to replace the remix version in the Best Highlife Category. The song has also been nominated in the Most Popular Song of the Year Category.”
Kwaku Ananse will thus be competing with Bandy Banero’s Hossana, Black Sherif’s Yaya, Joyce Blessing’s Victory, King Promise’s Terminator, Kuami Eugene’s Monica, Nacee’s Aseda, Sarkodie’s Otan, Stonebwoy’s Into the Future and others.
Another review announced by the Board was on “Lonely Road” a collaborative piece by O’Kenneth & Xlim Kid which was mistakenly highlighted as a feature.
“The management of both artistes pointed out that ‘Lonely Road’ was a joint project by O’Kenneth and Xlim Kid and not a feature. The Board noted this and has thus corrected the nomination to reflect ‘Lonely Road, by O’Kenneth and Xlim Kid.”
