Ghanaian rapper and singer, King Paluta has written to the board of the Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA) demanding explanation for snubbing his song, ‘Makoma’ for nomination in certain categories for the 26th TGMAs.
In a letter to the TGMA on March 18, King Paluta said ‘Makoma’ was submitted for four categories; Most Popular Song, Record of the Year, Hiplife Song of the Year and Songwriter of the year.
However, following the official announcement of the nominees for the 26th edition of the Awards, his song, ‘Makoma’ was not nominated for any of the four categories he filed for.
Paluta expressed confidence that his song breached no moral or ethical requirement of the TGMA board and believes it deserves a recognition in any of the categories.
“We humbly write to your honorable board to demand some explanations in connection with the snub of “MAKOMA” by King PALUTA, a song we duly submitted for consideration which we believe remains Ghana’s most popular song released the year under review, generating the most excitement amongst music lovers till date,” the letter said.
King Paluta’s management in the letter said “we believe in the competence of the TGMA board and trust that a convincing reason be issued to our team, music enthusiasts and general public on this unpopular decision of the board.”
King Paluta’s management noted that they will be ready to engage for possible consideration of the song in the categories submitted for earlier.
