Fast-rising Ghanaian artiste and 25th TGMA Unsung winner Kwesi Amewuga has expressed excitement over his nomination in the Best Hiplife Song category at the 2026 Telecel Ghana Music Awards.
Speaking in an interview on TV3 on Wednesday May 6, 2026, the rapper said he feels honoured to be competing alongside some of the biggest names in the Ghanaian music industry.
“I’ve been nominated for Best Hiplife Song of the Year alongside Medikal, Sarkodie and others. I feel great to be nominated with the giants of the industry,” he said.
According to Kwesi Amewuga, sharing a category with established artistes is a major milestone for him, considering he used to follow and debate award categories as a fan years ago.
“Some years ago, we were the ones voting and debating on who would win what and now, I’m in the category with Sarkodie and Medikal,” he stated.
The artiste admitted that the competition comes with pressure but believes his sound gives him an advantage over the other nominees.
“Competition wise, there’s a lot of pressure on me, looking at the people I’m competing with. Talking of Hiplife, when you listen to my sound, it’s full Hiplife. That’s the advantage I think I have over them and that should let me win,” he shared.
Kwesi Amewuga also spoke about the significance of winning the TGMA Unsung Artiste award, describing it as a major source of motivation.
“The Unsung award I received is really precious to me. I kept it where I would be seeing it often because it means a lot. Anytime I see it, it motivates me to work harder and keep going,” he added.
