Her statements have sparked a broader debate about recognition in the music industry and the importance of acknowledging hard work and representation.
"No one can tell me that Stonebwoy doesn't meet the criteria to win the Artiste of the Year Award. There is a campaign going on social media. Stonebwoy has worked so hard but he has taken some this year let's give it other artistes."
"We are giving the award based on merit of hard work. It is not a family property, it is not heritance. Under the 2024 review, when Stonebwoy took the artiste of the year award, he worked harder like an underground artiste."
"Can anybody tell me that when it comes to project Ghana on music platforms globally, has anyone done that more than Stonebwoy?."
