It may have come as a shock as many would had thought that Kofi Kinaata or better Sarkodie would have won artist of the year. Kuami Eugene, who is signed to Lynx Entertainment bagged the artist of the year category. While it came as a surprise to many who felt he’s not worth it, others thought he deserves it and even more.
Well, there are two sides to every story. Be as it may, all 3 artists have worked really hard and deserve the award.
Do you think VGMA was a bit biased in the artist of the year category?
