Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Dancehall musician, Stonebwoy, has shown great respect for the Telecel Ghana Music Awards, highlighting its importance in honoring the efforts of Ghanaian musicians.
Although he aims to increase his international influence, Stonebwoy stressed the significance of recognizing local achievements like the Ghana Music Awards.
During a talk with TV3, Stonebwoy mentioned that even though he was not feeling well on the night of the event, he made attending the awards ceremony a priority because of his great admiration for it.
“I am truly grateful. Despite not feeling my best that night, I made sure to attend the event. The Ghana Music Awards holds a special place in my heart because it acknowledges the dedication and efforts of Ghanaian musicians,” he stated.
Stonebwoy emphasized the significance of supporting indigenous awards such as the Ghana Music Awards, while artists also aim for global acclaim.
He emphasized the importance of acknowledging and celebrating local accomplishments, in addition to pursuing prestigious international awards such as the Grammys or BET awards.
“In as much as we want to grow out of our country in terms of height and enter into the GRAMMYS or the Latin Awards or the BETs, we have to understand that those awards are local awards to the Americans so it is really important to harness ours because without Ghana Music Awards then what? I wouldn’t want to be at home if I had to be there. On days that I was not performing like last year, I attended and I presented an award. I cherish it, to be honest,” he said.
Looking back on his previous participation in the Ghana Music Awards, Stonebwoy revealed his commitment by showing up even when he wasn’t scheduled to perform, demonstrating his sincere gratitude for the event.
“I cherish every moment associated with the Ghana Music Awards. It’s a platform that celebrates our music industry and fosters its growth,” he concluded.
