He pipped the likes of Sarkodie, Medikal, Kofi Kinaata, and Diana Hamilton to pick the award, which happens to be the topmost VGMA award.

Speaking on Happy FM, Eugene mentioned that the Chief Imam was one of the people who helped him get the divine favour to win.

He explained that when he won New Artiste of the Year award in 2018, he presented it to the Chief Imam who blessed it and declared that he was going to win more awards.

Touching on his relationship with the chief Imam and how he has easy access to him, Eugene explained that:

” The Chief Imam is a Fadama Man and I am a Fadama boy so it was easy getting access to him. I was extremely thrilled when he remembered by name… I had to swerve my fans to prevent them from mugging me when I was going to see him. He prayed for me and blessed me and for that I am eternally grateful.”

Meanwhile, Kuami Eugene, has given reverence to the Chief Imam by presenting the new award to him.

The Angela hitmaker, in a video sighted by YEN.com.gh, was seen at the residence of the Chief Imam Osmanu Nuhu Sharubutu to inform him of his recent success.
