By Musician Sista Afia has voiced her disappointment and frustration on social media after not receiving any nominations for the Ghana Music Awards.
In a poignant post, Sista Afia pondered whether she had offended someone within the hierarchy of the Ghana Music Awards, especially considering the success of her song ‘Asuoden’ in 2021.
Despite the widespread acclaim of her song, she expressed feeling disheartened by the absence of any nominations, prompting her to question the decision-making process of the award board.
Sista Afia expressed frustration over what she perceives as unfairness in the nomination process, insinuating that certain artists receive nominations without even applying for them.
This disparity, she contended, undermines her efforts and belittles the recognition she has rightfully earned through her years of dedication in the music industry.
Despite consistently delivering hit songs since her debut almost a decade ago, Sista Afia has garnered only a handful of awards.
While she aims to navigate cautiously to avoid causing offense, she revealed that she can no longer remain silent as the situation is becoming increasingly burdensome for her.
She wrote, “Have I offended someone at the high table Ghana Music Awards ?? The fact that Asuoden was a big song in 2021 zero nominations which I still don’t get.
“I learnt people don’t even file for nominations but get nominations, the downplay on my efforts ever since I started doing music in Ghana hasn’t been fair to my craft.”
“And yes it hurts because I work so hard. I’ve been quiet for so long because I have respect for the scheme and I don’t want to step on no one’s toes,” Sista Afia added.
Meanwhile, her fans have taken over her comment section to send her reassuring messages about her value and unbeatable contribution to the industry.
