2019 VGMA: AK Songstress a deserving nominee? ‘Yes’, says manager

Updates arriving confirm AK Songtress as a nominee for the Reggae/Dancehall artiste category amidst mixed reactions from critics.

She shares the category with the likes of other key names in the genre such as Stonebwoy, Shatta Wale, Samini and Epixode.

In her defense, her manager, Duke Banson, CEO of Paradise Entertainment, had this to say in an interview with ghanamusic.com, ‘AK Songstress has done well over the years and I congratulate her on the nomination. To silence any form of critics, AK says she’s about to drop a pure Dancehall song that none of the nominees in her category can ever do. None.’

He further explained, ‘AK Songstress has two of the best productions in the entire industry which are her songs, 37 and Secret Admirer. Her recent album, Timeless, has that title because each song on that album is actually a timeless piece.

Moreover, he emphasized, ‘ If you have a large following or fan base, it doesn’t mean you are popular or have hit songs’.

When asked on what exactly he had to say to the haters and critics that think her artiste is undeserving of the nomination, he rebutted , ‘AK Songstress says she would be on Facebook live by midday tomorrow to address all this and drop the link to the Dancehall song on ghanamusic.com that no one in her category of nomination can ever do.

Do you all think AK deserves a nomination slot, let alone a win, in this category since it’s alleged that her presence in the Ghana music industry wasn’t felt that much within the required period of legibility i.e 1st January 2018 – 31st December 2018 ?

Watch this space for more updates and commentary on the ongoing unveiling of nominees for the VGMAs 2019.
