"Lol King Paluta, do you know what a global hit is? Your songs haven’t even crossed the borders of Ghana."

Dressed in a striking white t-shirt paired with denim jeans and a black sleeveless jacket, King Paluta couldn’t contain his irritation as he addressed the critique.

Many on social media noted that the 33-year-old Kumasi-based rapper seemed to sidestep the criticisms by merely boasting about the number of international trips he had taken, rather than providing concrete statistics or showcasing how his music has made an impact in other countries.

Others pointed out that he failed to highlight the notable chart positions his tracks have achieved or the new records he has set within the Ghanaian music scene.

In an exclusive interview with YEN.com.gh, Chris Sowah, the founder of Cypress Media, shared comments on who deserves to win the Artist of the Year.

"Looking at those he is competing with and the work they have all put in, I don’t think King Paluta deserves to win this year's crown."

"I believe artists such as King Promise and Stonebwoy had a better year ahead of him by far with King Promise leading the way with his exploits and work."

"Also, I don’t know. Brand positioning is very important but I don’t know if he’s got that covered."

"That one didn’t attend your type of big schools, but he's doing well for himself. We all can’t read and write, so you can’t hold it against anyone. Look at his impact and achievements, and judge him by that. The spelling abroad was a typographical error."
