King Paluta, the talented Ghanaian rapper, has had an exceptional year with multiple hit songs making waves across the country.
Yet despite his success, his manager, Cofy Dela, is baffled by the fact that Paluta isn’t being considered a serious contender for the Artiste of the Year (AOTY) award at the upcoming Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA).
Dela believes Paluta deserves the award more than any of the other nominees, given the artist’s significant impact in the year under review.
Dela emphasized that King Paluta has not just one, but three major hits in the form of “Makoma,” “Aseda,” and “For the Papping (Apicki).”
These tracks have not only topped the charts but have become anthems for the masses, dominating airwaves and resonating deeply with the public.
Dela believes that Paluta’s musical presence during the year has been unparalleled, and his contributions to the Ghanaian music scene should be recognized accordingly.
He pointed out that while other artists like Stonebwoy and King Promise may have international appeal, Paluta’s music has consistently connected with the everyday person on the streets.
His influence reached new heights during the last political rally season, where Paluta’s songs energized crowds, becoming an integral part of the political discourse.
This kind of street credibility and connection to the people is what sets Paluta apart, according to Dela.
Dela also expressed frustration over the fact that factors like international reach and physical appearance are being used to define AOTY contenders, rather than the actual impact and contributions made during the award year.
He criticized how the media has shaped the narrative around the award by focusing on these superficial factors, which Dela feels undermine the true essence of what it means to be an influential artist in the country.
Reflecting on his decision to manage King Paluta, Dela highlighted the artist’s dedication, hard work, and consistency.
He sees Paluta as someone who genuinely believes in his music and his ability to make an impact. This unwavering commitment is what inspired Dela to help him realize his full potential.
With an expanding fan base, a string of hit songs, and undeniable street appeal, King Paluta is proving that he is no longer just a rising star. His manager’s remarks underscore that Paluta’s success is not only deserving of acknowledgment but that he is firmly staking his claim as one of Ghana’s most influential musical voices.
