Meanwhile, Esther Piesie is hopeful that she will win this year’s VGMA despite competing against Sarkodie, Camidoh, Black Sherrif, Stonebwoy, King Promise, and KiDi.
In an appearance on UTV’s Showbiz, Piesie Esther expressed her conviction that her long-term efforts merited the night’s top prize, the Artiste of the Year award.
The “Waye me yie” singer says she will be grateful even if she doesn’t win any awards that day because she knows that her faith will keep her going through the night as the winner.
“I believe and have faith that I will pick up the ultimate award, however, if I don’t pick any awards, I will still be grateful to God for at least getting the recognition. It will hurt if I don’t win an award but I’m hopeful things will turn out good in the end.”
Relatively, Ghanaian media personality George Nii Armah Quaye claims some members of the gospel community are allegedly doing everything in their power to influence the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA) board and academy in order to win.
George claims that while musicians in other genres are working hard to win over their fans and secure votes, their gospel colleagues are proactively attempting to sway the board.
In a facebook post on May 2, 2023, he wrote “Gospel people” going round DESPERATELY doing all they can to “INFLUENCE ” VGMA Academy and Board Members.
According to him, “Worldly” acts are focusing on their fans as should be done! When we talk p3, then Gospel people bore! Smh”.
