Fancy Gadam Should Have Won Artist Of The Year Award — Socrate Sarfo

Socrate Safo offers his two cents.

Controversial movie director, Socrate Sarfo wades into the endless debate from the just ended Vodafone Ghana Music Awards.

Furthermore, the awards has come under debate. This is about the various categories and their winners. Moreover, a lot of people give their opinion on who should have won.

Socrate Safo made his comments to TV Africa’s entertainment desk reporter, Araba Aggrey.

According to the Director of Creative Arts, the Tamale based artiste, Fancy Gadam was his pick for the category of artiste of the year. Moreover, this was due to the definition of the category. Therefore, it should have been Fancy Gadam and not Ebony.

Socrate Safo on Artiste Of the Year winner

“I think that even somebody like Fancy Gadam was robbed of one key category which is the artist if the year. Per the definition of artist of the year… if you look at the definition, Fancy Gadam stands poles apart from all the nominees there.

Can you pin point any of the nominees there including the ultimate winner, Ebony who did half of what he [Fancy Gadam] did?” 

However, he congratulated Charter House for a splendid concept. Moreover, he added that it wasn’t rare for any music award show to receive a backlash, critique, criticism or setbacks. Therefore, his comments clearly passes as one of them.

“I think the VGMA is a good concept and it has its own challenges like any award scheme the world over; so its normal when in Ghana we have our VGMA’s and people are not happy, but in the end we are all winners.”
