25th TGMA: Changes Made To Nomination lists

April 16, 2024

The board of the Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA) has made some adjustments to the nomination lists following a one-week window for errors and omissions.

It will be recalled that the announcement of the nominations on Thursday, March 28, 2024, at the Grand Arena of the Accra International Conference Center (AICC) was met with some displeasure by artists who were left disappointed when their hit songs did not appear in certain categories as expected.

In response to this, the board of the award scheme announced a one-week grace period to register their grievances, and several submissions were made by the stakeholder community. However, after careful evaluation of all submissions, the board confirms that there were neither errors nor omissions in the nominations list, except for two categories.

Lonely Road by O’Kenneth & Xlim Kid was initially filed as a featured work but the management of both artists pointed out that ‘Lonely Road’ was a joint project by O’Kenneth and Xlim Kid and not a feature.

The Board noted this and has thus corrected the nomination to reflect its category.

Also, the Board considered and nominated Amerado’s ‘Kwaku Ananse‘ remix in the Best Highlife Song category instead of the song’s original version.

This affected the song’s consideration in the Most Popular Song of the Year category.

Upon further review, the original version met the criteria and has consequently been nominated in the Most Popular Song of the Year category.

In a press statement dated April 15, 2024, the board reiterated its commitment to fairness in the Telecel Ghana Music Awards scheme.
