Rocky Dawuni must be doing something right to get all these nominations. God has blessed that man. Hopefully, he wins one for Ghana another tweet said, Rocky Dawuni deserve a statue and let's put some respect on his name. Ghana to the who waise. Grabbing another GRAMMYs Nomination no joke.#GRAMMYs one tweet added.

A tweet said; Rocky Dawuni’s place in Ghana’s music history must be discussed. Now a 3x nominee at the Grammys but because he doesn’t make music that’s targeted at Ghanaians in Ghana, it’s difficult to recognize him as one of the GOATs while another also added Ghana it's time to bring the Grammy home. Let's not watch it go because Rocky Dawuni is in a different world of his own. The Grammy will be in the records of the entire Ghanaian music industry. Let's give Rocky the support he deserves. #RockyIsNext!
