    This award has no honor and recognition in outside Ghana so what's the value.

  • Onipaba Of Akyem Maase 10 years ago

    It is his strategy to associate with popular persons so his shame may be masked. He knows about his abysmal failure and so want to be close to people being discussed most so he could be a subject too.

  • kweku trouble 10 years ago

    If overall your album was adjudged the album of the year, and a song on that album wins the most popular song of the year...then why shouldn't you be crowned the artist of the year...VGMA is gradually loosing its credibility.
