The Nigerian star threw his weight behind the Paris hitmaker as he acknowledged his performance at last year's Detty Rave concert in Accra.
The concert saw performances from several Ghanaian stars, including King Promise and Kwesi Arthur.
According to Mr Eazi, the brain behind the music experience in Accra, King Promise fielded a performance worthy of mention, befitting his stellar run as one of the most standout artistes in Ghana this year. On social media, he said,
My bro King Promise 🇬🇭 Artist Of The Year 2024! Ended the Year Like a True Superstar! No Size!"
His endorsement of King Promise didn't come as a surprise to many fans. In 2023, King Promise was tipped to win the award after producing globally successful records, including Terminator.
However, he lost to Stonebwoy, whose star-studded 5th Dimension album and critically acclaimed stadium concert gave him an edge over King Promise.
This year, both artistes are likely to go at each other for the ultimate prize again at the 26th Telecel Ghana Music Awards.
With Mr Eazi's endorsement setting the tone, scores of fans have already begun reviewing King Prromise's chances of beating Stonebwoy and other top contenders shortlisted by fans, including Kweku Smoke and Fameye.
Apart from Mr Eazi, other industry professionals have expressed their predictions for the race. For instance, YouTuber Kwadwo Sheldon believes this year's Artiste of the Year race includes King Promise. On social media, he said
"For now, it's between Kweku Soke and King Promise. Famaye is in the conversation tho. Top 3 in content I guess."
