Yaw Boadu-Ayeboafoh weighs In On Kwaku Ananse
Popular pundit and music analyst Yaw Boadu-Ayeboafoh have shared some insight on Amerado's complaint and whether it was in order. Yaw Boadu-Ayeboafoh was of the view that Amerado had been compensated well enough with other nominations in other categories. Speaking to YEN.com.gh said:
Kwaku Ananse was undoubtedly one of the biggest songs in the year under review, and it is unfortunate that the original was not nominated. However, the remix was, so I think that should be enough. Amerado was also nominated in several other categories, so he should not be too worried about this nomination.
