Blakk Rasta Trashes MOG's Admission Into Grammy Academy As First Ghanaian Gospel Artiste

• Blakk Rasta has said that Ghanaian gospel artiste MOG's admission into the Grammy Academy is mediocre
• He added that it is not something worth applauding or eulogising by Ghanaians since it does not add any value to the Ghana music industry
• He added that the requirements to be admitted into the Grammy Academy are not so special

Reggae artiste and media personality Blakk Rasta has said that Ghanaian gospel artiste MOG known privately as Nana Yaw Boakye's admission to the Grammy Academy, is not special, neither is it worth the applause it is getting from Ghanaians.

In an interview on United Showbiz, the controversial reggae artiste stated that he was not impressed with how some Ghanaians have reacted to the announcement of MOG's admission into the Grammys.

The popular reggae hitmaker detailed that the requirements to join the award scheme are not so special and that, joining the Grammy Academy does not add any value to Ghana's entertainment or music industry.

During the show on UTV, Blakk Rasta stated that the Grammy Academy had encouraged Jamaicans and others to join which meant that getting on board was not so difficult.

Blakk Rasta also said that since artistes were in Portugal performing their hit songs, he would prefer that MOG did the same with his songs than to look for voting rights with the Grammys.

"The Grammy Award has encouraged Jamaicans to join. What profits will the industry derive from MOG's admission into the Grammys? Your colleagues are in Portugal performing songs they sang years ago and you want to have voting rights at the Grammys. I love MOG but I do not think it is necessary," Blakk Rasta stated.
