Bulldog, the artist manager, has urged the gospel community to take a backseat in its pursuit of this year’s VGMA’s highly coveted “Artiste of the Year” award.
He claimed that the “worldly people” earned the prize because they had put in enough effort.

“We will not allow any gospel artiste to win the Artiste of the Year this time,” he said during an interview with Berla Mundi on Accra-based Tv3.
He says the battle is between Lucifer and God, and Lucifer has prevailed.
Bulldog was expressing his predictions for the night’s most prestigious award winner.
“I wish she would come back but not this year, maybe at the 34th edition. This year, if you look at what our people in the world have done as in the Stonebwoy’s and Black Sherif have done, we will not allow any gospel artiste to win the Artiste of the Year . The church of the Pentecost, Presby can all join but they will not win against lucifer. Everyone else in the world is with the guy. This is lucifer against God and God understands that we will win” he said.

This occurs at a time when many people have been charging that the gospel fraternity is desperately trying to influence the academy board to secure a victory.
According to Ghanaian media personality George Nii Armah Quaye, the gospel fraternity was exerting every effort to influence the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA) board and academy in favor of a victory.
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”.

The event’s organizers stated in a separate post by the former Head of Communications and Public Relations at Charterhouse: “Encourage your fans to vote! Lobby them! Push them! Beg! Implore them! Buy them credits! Get them data! Sing for them if you have to! Go from house to house if you must! Just leave the Board and Academy alone to do their work!!!”
In order to increase their chances of winning at the 24th edition of the VGMA, nominees are actively seeking votes from the Academy and Board members with just some few hours until the main awards.
The VGMA Academy has 30% of the vote, while the Board has 40%, according to the voting percentage pattern. While the general public only has 30%.
