The Head of Communications and Public Events at Charterhouse Productions, Robert Klah, has explained why Ghanaian music duo DopeNation was not nominated for this year’s awards.
In an interview on Daybreak Hitz with Andy Dosty, Robert clarified that despite DopeNation’s hit song “Zormizor” being popular during the year under review, the duo failed to submit the song for consideration.
“One would expect that on a platform like this, in the year under review, their place would certainly be established. Unfortunately, when there was no filing and we tried to reach out for consent, we couldn’t get it,” he explained.
Following this explanation, DopeNation responded to their non-inclusion after DJ Slim mentioned them in a post on X. DJ Slim wrote, “I’m hearing, you guys didn’t file for nominations and when the research team picked up your songs, you guys were not responsive to the award scheme. How true is this?”
In response, DopeNation stated, “We have been battling a lot that can’t be said out of respect for some people in this hypocritical music space. However, can we all recall from 2021? Maybe some of us will know this is not just about awards, Sir. Gradually, this industry will be losing its ‘TRUE ARTISTS.'”
