Entertainment pundit highlighted reasons why Stonebwoy deserved to win the coveted award of the night
In an exclusive interview with YEN.com.gh, Entertainment pundit Chris Tsormanah highlighted the reasons why Stonebwoy deserved to win the coveted award of the night over King Promise.
He noted that both musicians equally put in a lot of work in the 2023/2024 season under review for the TGMAs. However, he noted that King Promsie's strength was in his viral song, Terminator, whereas Stonebwoy's strength lay in his 5th Dimension album.
"When you come up with an album, it has different genres in that body of work. Within the year under review, Stonebwoy was nominated in the highlife category, and he was even nominated in the Afropop category, which happened to be King Promise's territory."
Mr Tsormanah also added that Stonebwoy has a very strong fanbase, the Bhim Nation, because of his reliability with people on the street. He stated that due to this, when it fell on the public to vote, it was easy for Stonebwoy to pull the numbers. He also added that the TGMA has three voting blocks: the board, the academy, and the public.
"The category is not a song category. It goes beyond a song. It's an artiste category. That is why King Promise easily won the Afropop Song of the Year and the Most Popular Song of the Year. Nobody could compete with him because it was just the song.Nobody could comepte with him because it was jsut the song because it went viral and the song was strong."
The Entertainment pundit stated that despite King Promise's Terminator song making waves both in Ghana and internationally, he was not as strong an artiste as Stonebwoy.
