We’ve been battling a lot in this ‘hypocritical’ music space – DopeNation on why they snub TGMA
Ghanaian music duo, DopeNation has explained why they decided not to file for nominations for the 26th edition of the Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA).
Responding to a tweet from DJ Slim on why they did not file for nominations, DopeNation alluded to what appears to have been an unfair treatment by TGMA in 2021.
“We have been battling a lot that can’t be said out of respect for some people in this hypocritical music space. However, can we all recall from 2021? Maybe some of us will know this is not just about awards, Sir. Gradually, this industry will be losing its ‘TRUE ARTISTS.’”
Meanwhile, the Head of Communications and Public Events at Charterhouse Productions, Robert Klah, has disclosed that DopeNation failed to submit their song(s) for nomination into any category despite their hit song “Zormizor” released for the year under review.
In an interview on Daybreak Hitz on March 20, Robert Klah noted that following DopeNation’s failure to file nominations, the organizers reached out to the artistes but did not receive any response.
“One would expect that on a platform like this, in the year under review, their place would certainly be established. Unfortunately, when there was no filing and we tried to reach out for consent, we couldn’t get it,” he explained.
