The 2017 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards was typical in many aspects – unforeseen hitches, a late start, and lots of controversies – controversies which encompassed not just the decision to award Joe Mettle the Artist of the Year award but also Fancy Gadam picking up the Best New Artiste of the Year over Medikal and others.
Gadam, a Tamale based artiste who’s massive in the entire three Northern Regions, has been making waves into the national market prior to winning the award, but most casual music lovers in the capital knew little about him, thus cried foul over him winning the award.
