Hiplife artiste TiC has expressed disappointment at the organizers of the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards, (VGMA) for excluding him from their annual events.
According to the ‘Fefe Ne Fe’ rapper, the awards scheme has failed to recognize his contribution to the Ghanaian music industry despite his two-decade-old relevance.
He indicated that the scheme has failed to accord the needed respect as one of the artists to first perform at the maiden edition of the awards event in 2000.
“You can’t do Ghana Music Awards and not send me an invitation. I am not the king of Ghana Music, but I deserve some kind of monumental positioning in this country. If you check the first Ghana Music Awards that was ever held, I was a performer. So history has captured me for Ghana Music Awards,” he stated in an interview on Citi TV.
Tic Tac expressed that including industry greats like Daddy Lumba in the awards every year will give it a great boost.
This he said will pull more individuals to attend the event just to catch a glimpse of these ‘big names’ who hardly attend events.
“When you are watching big award shows in America, you see certain faces, it is only during such shows that you see such faces, they don’t come out often,” the 42-year-old artist added.
