Bullet of Rufftown Records
Ricky Nana Agyemang, the CEO of Rufftown Records, popularly known as Bullet, has thrown his support behind musician King Promise in the 'Artiste of the Year' contest at the Telecel Ghana Music Awards.
He asserted that King Promise's contribution to the music industry has been particularly remarkable in the year 2024, meriting recognition.
Bullet pointed out that among the contenders for the award, which includes Stonebwoy, Sarkodie, Kuami Eugene, Nacee, and Black Sherif, King Promise stands out with his achievements in the music scene.
In a conversation with GhanaWeb's Elsie Lamar at the event, Bullet expressed his belief that now is the opportune moment for King Promise to secure this honor for the first time in his musical journey.
"I am rooting for King Promise because I want him to win the 'Artiste of the Year.' He has worked so hard, not to discredit the other competitors, but I think he deserves it. It's his time, so we should give it to him," he said.
