Accra: Award-winning Ghanaian music group Keche has maintained their confidence in winning the Best Group of the Year category at the 2026 Telecel Ghana Music Awards, asserting that their victory would have remained unchallenged even if DopeNation had been nominated.
According to Ghana Web, Keche addressed the speculation during an interview on Joy Prime, following their win. The group dismissed claims that the award was the result of a lack of competition in the category. Critics argued that DopeNation would have been a formidable contender, possibly overtaking Keche for the win.
Responding to this criticism, Keche emphasized that the award is not based on the success of a single song but rather on a group's overall performance and consistency throughout the year. They pointed out the difference between categories like Best Group of the Year and Group Song of the Year, stressing the importance of recognizing sustained effort and achievement.
Keche further elaborated on their active presence in the music scene throughout 2025, highlighting their numerous performances across the country. They stated that they maintained a rigorous schedule, performing at several events weekly, showcasing their dedication and hard work.
The group underscored that their consistent performance throughout the year made them deserving winners, irrespective of which other groups were nominated. They confidently asserted that their efforts secured their win, even in the face of potential competition.
