- He acknowledged the disappointment of not securing a nomination this year
- he highlighted that it does not reduce the quality of Ghanaian music, but rather serves as a platform for improvement in the future.
Ghanaian rapper, Medikal, is confident that the day will come when Ghanaians will have their moment at the prestigious Grammy Awards.
The talented artist expressed his belief in the immense talent that exists within Ghana’s music industry and the potential for it to be recognized on the global stage.
Speaking about Ghana’s exclusion from the Academy Awards nomination list, Medikal expressed hope that Ghanaian music would gradually gain recognition on a global scale. While admitting his disappointment at not receiving a nomination this year, he stressed that this does not lessen the caliber of Ghanaian music or artists; rather, it provides a platform for future development and improvement.
He revealed through his submission on UTV Showbiz Night that while achieving this kind of fame is not simple, artists work extremely hard to prepare the ground for the day.
“I feel everything is about time, there was a time when no Ghanaian was at the BET but gradually Sarkodie, Stonebwoy, and Blacko have sealed their names in the Award book, and other artist nominees so with time the moment will present itself”
You ought to have worked tirelessly to gain such recognition, those who made the list won several BETs, filled O2 Arena, and a host of many so people shouldn’t think Ghana missing out on the Grammy undermines our music quality or otherwise, it’s just a matter of time”
“Stonebwoy is a hardworking artist and it’s very evident in his works, it is nothing bad or funny for people to troll him for missing out on the nominee’s list after submitting his catalog for consideration, it’s just like sitting an exam, and waiting on your score. if it didn’t happen this year, maybe it will happen next year” he said.
