Ghanaian rapper, Pappy Kojo, stirred controversy with his recent statement on the Grammy Awards, expressing unawareness of Ghanaians filing for Grammy nominations.

In an interview on Ameyaw TV, Pappy Kojo shared his surprise at the idea that Ghanaian artists were at a stage of being considered for Grammy nominations.

I didn’t even know Ghanaians have reached where we get nominated for Grammys, I don’t know. I’m just saying because you know when it comes to Grammys it’s always Nigerians, they always mention Nigerians, I don’t even know Ghanaians it’s our turn, remarked Pappy Kojo during the interview.

The rapper went on to make a bold statement, suggesting that the Grammy Awards have historically been dominated by Nigerians.
