Chris Tsormanah gives perspective on the Collaboration Of The Year category

Chris Tsormanah, a seasoned music executive and industry insider, in a conversation with YEN.com.gh, gave some insight on how the Collaboration Of The Year is selected. He said:

Categories like Collaboration Of The Year is a 50/50 affair and can sway anywhere. It is partially determined by the academy and the voters. Kidi winning that category is understandable because he and Stonebwoy have a larger fan base than the other nominees. Fan votes are likely to have swayed in their favour.
