KiDi, alongside Stonebwoy,
won the award for their song “Liquor,” beating out Mr. Drew’s “Case,” which
featured Mophty, as well as other collaborations from Oseikrom Sikani, Amerado,
King Paluta, FRA, and Akwaboah.
Mr. Drew expressed his
frustration in an interview with 3music, arguing that his song was the most
impactful in the category.
He pointed out that “Case” featured an unknown
artist and still managed to achieve significant success, suggesting that this
should have secured him the award.
“No song was bigger or more
impactful than ‘Case.’ To feature an artist that nobody knew and for the song
to become that big and change both artists’ lives is the impact we are looking
for. Isn’t that what collaboration means? It didn’t make sense to me,” Mr. Drew stated.
Despite his
disappointment, he mentioned he has no ill feelings toward KiDi for winning the
award.
KiDi responded to Mr.
Drew’s comments with a sarcastic reaction video posted on X, seemingly mocking
Mr. Drew's remarks. This post has since generated numerous reactions on the
platform, adding to the ongoing debate among fans and the public.
The 25th Telecel Ghana
Music Awards, held on June 1, 2024, was a notable event, with Stonebwoy
clinching six trophies, including the coveted Artiste of the Year award.
The awards ceremony highlighted the
achievements of various artists in the Ghanaian music industry, but the
controversy between KiDi and Mr. Drew has particularly captured public
attention.
