The Vodafone Ghana Music Awards is an annual event that honors outstanding Ghanaian musicians for their achievements in the music industry. The event is organized by Charterhouse Ghana and sponsored by Vodafone Ghana.
The process for selecting nominees typically involves a call for entries, followed by a vetting process to ensure that the submitted works meet the eligibility criteria. A nomination review committee then goes through the entries to select nominees for the various categories, including the new artist of the year category.
However, the specific circumstances surrounding Jay Bahd’s removal from the new artist of the year category is because he is not New to the Scheme, because of his shared nomination on Yaw Tog’s’Sore’ for Collaboration of the Year in 2021. This means, he’s not eligible as a nominee for the Best New Artiste category of the 24th Vodafone Ghana Music Awards. The error has been corrected, and Jay Bahd and his team have been informed accordingly. The inconvenience is deeply regretted.
