Rapper Edem, has advised his colleague rappers not to focus on winning awards, most especially, the ‘Hip pop Artiste of the Year’ category for the VGMAs. According to him, all rappers are talented so that category shouldn’t be the yardstick in determining who the best is in hip pop.

He made this known to host of After-E, Nealyon on Spyderlee Entertainment TV at an event organized by Feli Nuna on Saturday when the host asked how he felt after not being nominated for this year’s ‘Hip pop Artiste of the Year’ in the VGMAs.

‘It’s a year under review, that’s why they said hip pop artiste of the year. They didn’t say hip pop artiste of the lifetime. And aside that, with what i know, as a hip pop artiste i don’t think that anybody should be able to judge anybody as a rapper. We are all super talented in our own rights; Flowking is a super talent, Joey B, Pappy Kojo, Teephlow, Sarkodie, EL et al. So that category is not a category that artistes like us who believe in artistry should take as a world cup but then you should be grateful when you win it,’ he said
