Rapper Medikal from Ghana has stated that patience is a virtue and that when morning breaks, Ghanaians will undoubtedly have their moment at the Grammy Awards.
He thinks that Ghanaians must not rush the process because they will finally have their chance to shine on the international scene.
Speaking about Ghana’s exclusion from the Academy Awards nomination list, he expressed hope that Ghanaian music would gradually gain recognition on a global scale. While admitting his disappointment at not receiving a nomination this year, he stressed that this does not lessen the caliber of Ghanaian music or artists; rather, it provides a platform for future development and improvement.
He revealed, submitting on UTV Showbiz Night, that while achieving this kind of notoriety is not simple, artists are working really hard to prepare the ground for the day when dawn breaks.
“I feel everything is about time, there was a time when no Ghanaian was at the BET but gradually Sarkodie, Stonebwoy, and Blacko have sealed their names in the Award book, and other artist nominees so with time the moment will present itself”
“You ought to have worked tirelessly to gain such recognition, those who made the list won several BETs, filled O2 Arena, and a host of many so people shouldn’t think Ghana missing out on the Grammy undermines our music quality or otherwise, it’s just a matter of time”
It is neither humorous nor bad for people to make fun of Stonebwoy for not making the nominee list after submitting his catalog for consideration; it’s like waiting for your results after taking a test. Stonebwoy is a hardworking artist, and it shows in his works. Perhaps next year, if it didn’t occur this year, it will.
