Rapper Kwaw Kese has stirred conversation online after criticising the nomination process for the Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA), describing it as confusing and unclear, even to industry insiders.
In a post shared on X on Monday, March 16, the outspoken artiste suggested that the awards scheme lacks transparency, claiming many people are unaware of how and when nominations are determined.
“Ghana Music Awards turn gob3. You just wake up one day and there’s nominees party and you ask yourself how and when did people get nominated 😂😂😂😜,” he wrote.

His comments quickly gained traction, sparking mixed reactions from social media users.
While some agreed with his concerns about the nomination processes, others were less sympathetic, reminding the rapper of the role the award scheme played in his career.
Several commenters pointed out that the same awards scheme once honoured him during his peak years, helping elevate his profile in the music industry.
Critics in the comment section argued that it was inconsistent for the rapper to now question the credibility of a system that previously recognised his work, with some urging him to contribute constructively to ongoing conversations about reforms rather than dismissing the scheme outright.
