Whilst everyone is enjoying in this new bundle of joy in the gospel industry at the back of Joe Mettle winning the artiste of the year in the just ended Vodafone Ghana Music Awards, Nii Ayite Hammond, PRO of the Ghana Music Awards says people should stop making it look like Joe Mettle is the first artiste to win artiste of the year though the first gospel artiste.
In a Facebook post on Monday that, “Point of correction, Joe Mettle is not the first gospel Artiste to win the Artiste of the year but he is the first gospel Artiste to win the topmost award at the VGMA. Daughters of Glorious Jesus were the first gospel artiste to win the Artiste of the year in 2004.”
In an interview with Myjoyonline.com that when Daughters of Glorious Jesus won the Artiste of the Year, Joe Mettle has made history by being the first gospel artiste to win the topmost award, Artiste of the Year, since the rules changed in 2008.
