Entertainment pundit and media personality Halifax Ansah-Addo has stated that Ghanaian Afrobeat artiste King Promise is more likely to win the prestigious Artist of the Year award at the upcoming Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA) in June 2024 than Stonebwoy.
In a discussion on United Showbiz on UTV on May 27, 2024, he revealed that he had initially supported Stonebwoy because of his active involvement with fans and successful promotion of his music.
However, he was astonished by the large quantity of work that King Promise had gathered.
"My bet was on Stonebwoy; he's worked, and he deserves it. His team has also found a nice way of pushing him and his work on us. You get to know what he's doing, whether you like it or not.
"Until tonight, I didn't know King Promise had worked. When they gave me King Promise's repertoire, I was shocked, and I started to revise my notes. I would not be surprised if King Promise gets it," he told MzGee, host of the show.
Halifax acknowledged that King Promise's efforts had been largely ignored until recently. He said the artiste should have been more proactive in engaging with the Ghanaian market.
"I think going forward, people like King Promise should be more deliberate about getting the Ghanaian market involved in the things he does.
"He is doing so, but it is rather late. I'm not sure they can use this last week to catch up. Unlike Stonebwoy, who over the years has been vocal about his activities," he said.
King Promise and Stonebwoy join artistes including Black Sherif, Nacee, and Sarkodie in contention for the 'Artiste of the Year' award, one of the most prestigious accolades at the awards ceremony.
