I am disappointed in Ghana Music Awards – Ras Kuuku
Reggae and dancehall artiste Ras Kuuku has expressed his disappointment in the organisers of the Ghana Music Awards for not getting nominations for the Best Male Vocalist in the previous editions.
The ‘Wo' crooner, who is well known for his vibrant stagecraft, in an interview on Daybreak Hitz on Hitz FM with sit-in host Ernest Adu Kumi, said he has been cheated for far too long.
The dancehall artiste claimed that he is perhaps one of the best male vocalists in the music industry currently and deserves to be nominated for such categories especially in the music awards.
“…If you listen to the voice and style, why won't they nominate Ras Kuuku in the male vocalist category? When it comes to performances, we don't mime.
“If you listen to a song like ‘Wo', and you hear that Ras Kuuku has not been nominated for ‘Male Vocalist of the Year', I sometimes feel disappointed,” he said.
Ras Kuuku, who was confident of winning an award in the Reggae and Dancehall categories at the 2017 edition of the Ghana Music Awards, stormed out of the Accra International Conference Centre, the venue for the awards, after losing out to Stonebwoy.
Even though he was not happy that he lost out to Stonebwoy, Ras Kuuku recognised Stonebwoy as his junior brother and stressed that he has no beef with him.
He said he felt that the awards made it too hard for lesser-known artists to win against the bigger and popular artistes no matter how hard they work to make an impact in the industry.

JUST IN: Kuami Eugene involved in a ghastly car Accident (PHOTOS)
Award-winning Ghanaian musician Kuami Eugene, sustained injuries on Sunday night after ramming his car into a tipper truck.
The accident occurred at CP, close to the DSTV office towards the Dzowulu traffic light in Accra.
According to the Editor for Modern Ghana news portal, Emmanuel Ajarfor Abugri who witnessed the accident, he was right behind the musician's car when the accident happened around 11:30 pm.
He told Myjoyonline.com that he only noticed it was the musician in the car with one male passenger when he went closer to offer assistance.
“I was behind him, and so I was the first person to rush to his rescue. I arranged for a vehicle to convey him together with one person onboard to the UGMC hospital.”
He explained that the tipper truck was in motion but moving slowly when the musician crashed into it from behind.
He believes the accident occurred because the N1 highway is dark due to poor lighting, while the tipper truck also lacked tail light worsening visibility.
Ajarfor also says he called in police officers from the Achimota Police Station to the scene who towed his car.
According to him, the artiste appears to have broken his arm as a cut was visible with blood all over.
“He's fine. He had a broken arm with blood all over his hands. The car is badly damaged and all the airbags were out. He could have died”he said.
The artiste was in a range rover with registration number, GC- 220-21.
