Ghanaian music icon Stonebwoy is bold about his assertion as the rightful 2019 Ghana Music Awards Artiste of the Year, despite the award’s official presentation being withheld due to controversy. In a recent interview on ‘The Portfolio’ podcast, Stonebwoy confidently reiterated his claim, citing his outstanding achievements and the knowledge shared among industry insiders, including Kwame Sefa Kayi and DJ Black.
The 2019 VGMAs were marred by a physical altercation between Stonebwoy and Shatta Wale, resulting in the Artiste of the Year title being left unannounced. Both artists were subsequently banned from the awards scheme. However, Stonebwoy’s recent win at the Telecel Ghana Music Awards has reignited the debate, with him calling on Charterhouse to formally recognize him as the 2019 winner.
While some industry insiders argue that Stonebwoy cannot claim the award since it was never officially presented, he remains resolute, maintaining that he is a three-time winner of the prestigious TGMA Artiste of the Year award. Stonebwoy’s unwavering confidence has sparked a heated discussion, with many awaiting a response from Charterhouse and other stakeholders.
