Citing an instance where Pappy Kojo was nominated for nine awards but could not win any, Hammer said that particular situation plunged him into depression. The award-winning music producer could not fathom why an artiste would be nominated in many categories without winning any. It’s too much to go home empty-handed; you can nominate that person for three awards,” he added. One can recall that the likes of Kelvynboy, Stonebwoy, Shatta Wale, Wendy Shay and several others have bemoaned the biased nature of awards schemes, particularly the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards(VGMAs). Wendy Shay in particular alleged that most deserving artistes are usually side-lined because organizers rather present awards to their favourites.
