TV3’s Mentor Credible Than VGMA – Patience Nyarko
VGMA brouhaha isn’t over.
Gospel songstress, Patience Nyarko discredits the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA). Furthermore, she termed it as bogus and full of deception.
Patience alleged that she was robbed of the awards.
She made this statement on Power 97.9 FM.
Moreover, her song ‘Obi nnyane me’ was nominated to the best Gospel song of the year category. However, it lost the award to Joe Mettle’s ‘Boo noni’. Also, she did not win the Gospel Artiste of the year award.
However, in the interview Patience Nyarko said she was shortchanged.
“I was clearly robbed. ..I think TV3’s Mentor programme is very credible than the VGMA.
Gospel is not about awards but you know, the awards are to motivate. I am not depending on the awards though. I believe the hypocrisy has become too much and I will not keep quiet because as a Christian, you don’t have to keep things to yourself but voice it out.”
Moreover, according to her, ‘Di Asa’ on Atinka TV is credible than Charterhouse’s award scheme. She said in the past, she did not talk about her loss because he thought she was becoming better by the day and hoped her hit song, ‘Obi nnyane me’ would win an award.
Furthermore, they asked her if she would want to be part of the VGMA after discrediting the annual event. She replied
“I will speak but if Charterhouse thinks I have spoken out and for that matter they won’t nominate me again that’s fine.”
