Ghanaian radio show host, Caleb Nii Boye, has made controversial comments regarding the Gospel Act of the Year award at the upcoming VGMA 2023.

In an interview on E-Forum hosted by Abrantepa, Caleb Nii Boye expressed his desire for Piesie Esther to miss out on the award and for Perez Muzik to win it instead.

Nii Boye stated that Piesie Esther's song has gained popularity due to the Twi language she used, which may have given her an unfair advantage over other gospel musicians.

“As we sit here today, it looks like Piesie Esther will win the Gospel Act of the Year, but then I wish she could get shocked, and then it could go to Perez Muzik,” he said.

Nii Boye also acknowledged that Perez Muzik's song was in elective Ga, which is not commonly spoken by everyone, and that this could put him at a disadvantage.

“I am saying this because Piesie’s song has made waves because of the language that she used. Let's not beat around the bush.

“Unfortunately for Perez, the language he used was elective Ga, which is not the normal Ga that everyone can speak. Let's accept the fact that one has the upper hand over the other in terms of language,” he added.
