Stonebwoy, one of Ghana’s finest singers, is confronted with dissatisfaction as his submissions for the 2024 Grammy Awards didn’t get any nominations. He submitted songs from his new album ‘5th Dimension’ but unluckily, not even a single song on the album grabbed a nomination.
The Best African Music Performance category was highly competitive so Stonebwoy’s entry ‘Manodzi’ featuring Angelique Kidjo lost the award to Asake and Olamide’s ‘Amapiano’.
Other contenders included Burna Boy with ‘City Boys,’ Davido featuring Musa Keys with ‘UNAVAILABLE,’ Ayra Starr with ‘Rush,’ and Tyla with ‘Water.’
Unfortunately, it wasn’t only Stonebwoy who suffered this unpleasant situation; gospel artist MOG and multiple-time nominee Rocky Dawuni also didn’t get any nomination for 2024.
Stonebwoy and his fellow artists, continue to contribute to the growth of Ghana and African music regardless of their loses. It is actually normal for musicians to come across failures as they aim for the top, therefore this is not the end of the road for 1GAD and his colleagues.
The Grammy is a great award scheme that motivates music gurus to work extra hard. It also recognizes and awards outstanding talents from all over the world.
While none of his works got him a nomination , Stonebwoy has finally gotten a Grammy nomination through his contribution to Beenie Man’s Simma album.
