Nominees for the 5th edition of the 3Music Awards have been announced at a brief ceremony held at the Telande Tea Garden in Accra and it is already generating discussion.
One category that is bringing up talk is the Artiste of the Year, which nominees are Black Sheriff, D- Black, KiDi, Kuami Eugene, Mr Drew, Sarkodie, Stonebwoy, Gyakie, and Celestine Donkor. But it seems a section of Ghanaians is not happy about Celestine Donkor’s inclusion in the category.
Graphic Showbiz monitored Hitz FM’s TiG hosted by Franky 5 last Sunday and comments and messages indicated that not everyone thinks she deserves to be there. In fact, host Franky 5 stated that the love shown to Diana Hamilton when she was nominated for Artiste of the Year last year is not the same for Celestine Donkor.
However, speaking with Graphic Showbiz, Celestine Donkor said she was not ready to debate whether she was deserving of the nomination, saying the organisers of the scheme were the best people to explain her inclusion.
“I believe all the musicians contesting for Artiste of the Year deserve to be there that is why they are there and I know 3Music Awards did a thorough job before nominating the artistes,” she stated.
