Kofi Kinaata, the ‘Fante Rap god’ has said that he did not know the winner of the rapper of the year category at the 2019 edition of the Western Music awards.
He made this statement to reiterate his stance on the significance of not participating in the 2019 edition of the Western Music Awards which was to provide opportunity and exposure for the young talents in the region.
Speaking with Yoofi Eyeson on Spice 91.9 Fm’s late night show “Ofie Ne Fie” Kofi Kinaata acknowledged the fact that he did not know the Western Music Awards Rapper of the year 2019 till he won the award.
“I never heard of semenhyia till he won the Western Music Awards, unlike the Kinaata which is a household name. It was a great opportunity for young artiste to shine, after making two appearances on the Western Music Awards and picking up the artiste of the year for two consecutive times, I think it’s rather a step in the right direction for me to step down for the young artistes to also shine, it will be unwise on my part to participate in the awards show and dwarf the chances of the young and upcoming artistes who needs the spotlight the most’’.
Semenhyia demonstrated his lyrical dexterity to beat the lifes Reskwe, Bobo Dada Bee,Casta Troy,Yaw Lucaz,The Township and Ayesem to win the rapper of the year for the 2019 edition of the Western Music Awards.
