Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Prolific Ghanaian songwriter and rapper, Okyeame Kwame, aka Rap Doctor, has stated that before quitting music, he hopes to win Artiste of the Year once again.
During an interview on Onua Fm’s Adwuma Adwuma program, which is hosted by Felicia Osei, Okyeame Kwame stated that he is ready to win Artiste of the Year once more.
Speaking about how to do that, he revealed that in order to win, an artist had to be active in the market, have an album or EP with at least three national hits, perform more often, and participate in more activations.
He said: “I will definitely win another Artiste of the Year award before I retire from the music industry just for my children and posterity’s sake,”
“It’s not such a difficult feat, you only have to get hits, create an album or an ep, you can win with a single but it’s advisable to submit an album which has at least 3 songs that are national hits, play more shows and more activations which can help you to become relevant”
During my time it was brutal, it was between myself and Praye. They had ‘Angelina’ and I had ‘Wo So’. We had each received 4 awards and the award to break the tie was the AOTY. It wasn’t easy. It was unbelievable and a great feeling,” he recounted
“You can win the popular votes but the Academy and Board may go against you and that could affect your chances of winning the ultimate because of the voting guidelines,” he said.
