Music star Black Sherif has stirred conversation in the industry after sharing his views on the Gospel Song of the Year category at the Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA).
Speaking in an interview on Onua Showtime with Nana Ama McBrown, the artiste stated that two of his songs, “Lord I’m Amazed” and “Sacrifice,” deserved recognition in the Gospel Song of the Year category.
According to him, both records carry strong spiritual themes and messages that align with the essence of gospel music.
His comments have since sparked debate, with many weighing in on what truly defines a gospel song in today’s evolving music landscape. While some agree with his position, others argue that genre classification should remain distinct, separating gospel from mainstream or secular influences.
The conversation highlights a broader issue within award schemes, how music is categorised, and the criteria used in determining nominations.
As genres continue to blend and artistes experiment with sound and message, the lines between categories are becoming increasingly fluid.
Black Sherif’s remarks add to ongoing discussions about inclusivity and fairness in award nominations, particularly in categories that carry strong cultural and spiritual significance.
