Well-Known Ghanaian musician, Sista Afia has opined that awards are to be given to those who deserve it and not by vote.
Taking to her timeline on Facebook, Sista Afia is of the view voting system should be ignored sometimes and award the artist for their hard work.
According to the ‘Jeje’ hitmaker, some female musicians don’t get the awards they deserve because of the voting system as some don’t have many fans.
She concluded pointed to the fact that Sefa was everywhere in the industry but if she doesn’t buy votes she won’t be awarded.
Sista Afia further intimated Gyakie need to pick up some awards from the VGMA because she was hitting every angle with her possible best.
“Last year, Sefa was everywhere, is the industry saying if she doesn’t buy vote (airtime) she won’t be awarded? Scam. She held a successful concert in HO and I together with other musicians were there to support the event. Yet they will go ahead and pick someone else. As if women don’t matter in awards, pathetic,”
“Gyakie, this girl def need to pick up something at least from VGMA. Y’all can’t say you didn’t see her win from every angle. Both locally and internationally. Sometimes f*** (sic) the ‘vote for your favourite artist by using this shortcode’ and give the award to who deserves it,” Sista Afia continued.
I know sometimes it’s difficult setting up award events, dealing with artists’ management and the stress in seeking for sponsorships, after all that stress, you want to make money too cos you don’t want your hustle to be in vain, that’s fine and understandable.
However, the thievery shouldn’t be too obvious. Yes it happens everywhere but sometimes sit down, assess issues and be brave to award who truly deserves it one love
