The reigning Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA) Artiste of the Year, King Promise says the congratulatory message he received from the Afro Dancehall musician, Stonebwoy is nothing to talk about.
After King Promise’s massive win, the former Artist of the Year took to his X handle to celebrate the current winner but King Promise never showed any appreciation.
”Congratulations @IamKingPromise on your win and your debut entry into the league of AOTY winners. You’re Welcome,” Stonebwoy tweeted on May 12.
In light of the debate that has sparked due to King Promise’s silence, during an interview with a sister station Hitz FM, on May 13, King Promise was asked why he had not responded to Stonebwoy’s congratulatory message.
“I have received the congrats, I don’t want to talk about it. I don’t really think it’s like anything to speak about,” King Promise said.
He further asserted that he had not seen the message personally but was informed.
“I’ve been told of it, I have actually. This morning, I have not been on X. I don’t think it is a big deal. I have responded to a few, the ones I saw when I went on the app, I responded to everyone,” King Promise added.
Meanwhile, King Promise beat off competition from Stonebwoy, Joe Mettle, Black Sheriff, King Paluta, Team Eternity and Kwaku Smoke to emerge the winner of the ultimate TGMA.
Stonebwoy, also won the Best Reggae/Dancehall Artiste of the Year, Reggae/Dancehall Song of the Year (with Psalm 23) and Best Music Video of the Year.
The two started logging horns in the 2024 edition of the awards in which Stonebwoy was crowned the winner and now King Promise had taken the mantle from Stonebwoy.
