MzVee didn’t deserve VGMAs dancehall artiste of the year nomination – Epixode

Reggae and dancehall artiste Epixode is not so excited over a paticlular name listed in the category of Best dancehall artiste of the year for the 2018 Ghana Music Awards.

The musician at the album listening of his second studio album, 3nity in Accra on Sunday boldly mentioned MzVee as an artiste whose appearance at the dancehall artiste of the year category was wrong.

According to him, the Lynx Entertainment artiste should not have been named among the dancehall artistes in the group because she does not qualify.

He asked the VGMAs board if their reason for nominating the female singjay for the category was because of her youtube views. According to him, Richie Mensah, boss of Lynx Entertainment replied a critic with the views of the songstress’ song on Youtube when the person also questioned MzVee’s nomination for the dancehall category.

Epixode also querried the awards scheme if the category is for only Ghanaian musicians working in the country or Ghanaians excelling outside the country also qualify for the nomination. The “Avatar” hitmaker further mentioned Black Prophet, Rocky Dawuni, Black Messiah and many other Reggae and dancehall musicians who are shinning outside the shores of Ghana but failed to gain nomination for this year’s awards.

MzVee was nominated for the dancehall artiste of the year category with Ebony, Shatta Wale and Stonebwoy.

2018 Ghana Music Awards is slated for April 14 at the Accra International Conference Center.
