Nana Yaw Boakye, popularly known as MOGmusic, hasrevealed why he was unsuccessful at gaining nomination at the 2024 Grammy nominations, which, to the surprise of many, did not include any Ghanaian Artiste.
In an interview on Hitz FM, MOGmusic, a member of the Grammy Recording Academy, was under consideration for a nomination himself but was ultimately disqualified. He admitted that; “The main reason why I started making noise about my consideration was because I felt it was a big deal. When a majority of Ghanaians start making noise online, there are other Grammy Academy Awards members online who may chance upon the thread and become aware, possibly adding me to their consideration and voting for me to be placed into a category.”
Why he was disqualified, MOGMusic said; “My social media handler made a mistake and put the official logo of the Grammys, and it got posted. Some Ghanaians drew my attention to it, and we quickly took it down, but it was too late. That is what went wrong on my side, it’s a mistake that my team made, and I take the bullet for myself.”
He advised that instead of making fun of Artites who didn’t receive nominations, Ghanaians should be more supportive and united in their efforts to help their Artistesto court the attention of the Grammy Board.
“One piece of advice I have for Ghanaians is that I think we need to be very supportive. Davido submitted his work time and time again, but he just got his nominations. I never saw Nigerians trolling Davido or comparing him to Burna Boy.
“I think what we should do is be more united so that these people will realize that there is a group of people from Ghana who support their people or go all out for their people. Rather than laughing at Stonebwoy and co. It doesn’t make sense.
“A time will come when Stonebwoy will be nominated, a time will come when I will be nominated. So it is just a matter of keeping up the hard work and putting in the effort,” he said.
