Aligata App criticizes award schemes as ‘bogus’ following ‘Alomo Gyata’ incident

The 25th Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA25) nominations have stirred mixed reactions on social media.

While some artists express excitement over their nominations, others question the awards’ credibility and integrity.

One notable figure voicing disappointment is popular Ghanaian artist Aligata App, known for his viral hit “Alomo Gyata,” a remix of Noble Adu Kwasi’s Highlife track “Akwankwaa Hiani.” Despite the song’s popularity in 2023, Aligata App feels overlooked by the awards.

In a social media post monitored by MyNewsGh.com, Aligata App expressed frustration, urging fellow artists to focus on their fans rather than award schemes.

He criticized the perceived lack of credibility in many awards, questioning how many times artists must highlight their concerns.

The nominations for TGMA25 have sparked a broader conversation about recognition in the Ghanaian music industry, with some highlighting the need for transparent and fair award processes.

As discussions unfold, artists like Aligata App continue to advocate for acknowledgment based on merit and fan support rather than relying solely on awards.
