In a recent interview on TV3, Olive The Boy revealed that his management team has reached out to the award scheme to be considered for Album/EP of the Year and Best Afrobeats Artiste of the Year.
Citing the significance of his EP ‘Goodsin’ and his prowess in the Afrobeats genre, Olive The Boy emphasized the importance of being acknowledged in these additional categories.
Robert Klah, the Public Relations Officer for Charterhouse, the organizers of the awards, has encouraged artists who have concerns about their nominations to seek clarification. He assured that the organizers are open to making necessary adjustments and providing clarity where needed.
Olive The Boy is not the only artist raising issues with their nominations. Rapper Amerado has also appealed to the awards’ organizers, questioning why his song ‘Kweku Ananse’ was not nominated for Most Popular Song of the Year.
