KiDi reacts to exclusion from 2026 TGMA Artiste of the Year category

Ghanaian singer and songwriter KiDi has reacted to his absence from the Artiste of the Year category at the 2026 Telecel Ghana Music Awards, stating that he is not bothered by the omission and is focused on making a stronger comeback next year.

Speaking in an interview with Zionfelix on May 8, 2026, the award-winning musician said he believes he worked hard during the year under review but does not see awards as a matter of life and death.

“I feel like I’ve worked hard, but I don’t take these things personally because, since the beginning of my career, awards have not been something I do or die for,” he said.

According to KiDi, the ultimate success of a song depends largely on the support of fans.

“I do the music, and what the song goes ahead to become is about the fans. At the end of the day, if they decide that I deserve to be nominated, I thank God for it,” he stated.

The singer expressed confidence that he will return to the Artiste of the Year category in 2027.

“If I’m not in the Artiste of the Year category this year, I will be coming hard in 2027. This year, I give all my support to everyone nominated, and I will be there to support,” he shared.

KiDi also revealed the three artistes he is backing to win this year’s top award.

“I will pick my top three in that category; Medikal, Black Sherif and Wendy Shay and may the best person win,” he said.

He further noted that the TGMA awards can be unpredictable, citing his own past experience.

“What you have to know is that TGMA night, they can surprise you because I’ve been a testimony. There was a night that I knew I was supposed to win Artiste of the Year, but Diana Hamilton won, so anything can happen that night,” he noted.

KiDi concluded with a message to this year’s nominees, encouraging those who miss out to remain focused and work harder.

“If any of the people I picked didn’t win, just know next year you will be back and you will come and meet me in that category because I will be there,” he added.
