Popular Ghanaian musician Mr Drew has expressed disappointment over the recent Telecel Ghana Music Awards. His song Case, which features Mophty Legacy, was in the running for Collaboration Of The Year but fell short of the win.

In a conversation with 3Music, Mr Drew shared his thoughts on the outcome. He said he believed that his song Case had a more significant impact and was a bigger hit compared to the winning song, 'Likor' by Kidi, which featured Stonebwoy. He argued that he featured an unknown artiste and changed his life with the record.

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.
