TGMA nominations snub hurt - Sista Afia

EVEN before Charterhouse, organisers of the annual Telecel Ghana Movie Awards (TGMAs), would officially announce this year’s nominations list, Sista Afia has raised objections about her constant snubbing by the scheme. Expressing disappointment and hurt over the happening, the Jeje hitmaker mentioned she’s worked very hard over the years to receive such poor treatment from a scheme that rewarded and recognised hard work. In an interview with Graphic Showbiz on Monday, February 3, Sista Afia said her poor treatment began when she failed to secure a nomination with Jeje featuring Shatta Wale in 2017. The “curse” seemed to have persisted until 2021 when she was nominated for her songs, Corner Corner ft Kelvyn Boy and Weather ft Medikal. Interestingly, Asuoden, released a year after, didn’t get any nominations and the story hasn’t changed since then, forcing Sista Afia to call out the organisers last year.
