He argued that his nominated songs are of high quality, with one track being nearly ten minutes long, accompanied by a music video showcasing various rap techniques and wordplay.
Lyrical Joe asserted that whenever one of his songs is nominated in the category and does not win, he feels unfairly treated.
In 2022, Amerado won the Best Rap Performance category with his song “Obiaa boa,” beating out competition from other notable rappers such as Medikal, Strongman, Lyrical Joe, and Teephlow.
