Sista Afia has expressed deep frustration over what she describes as a lack of recognition from the Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA).

Despite years of hard work and hit songs, she feels consistently overlooked by the scheme, a concern she voiced in a recent interview with Graphic Showbiz.

“I haven’t been satisfied with the few TGMA nominations I receive. When I released Jeje, I didn’t get any nominations even though the song was big until I dropped Corner Corner ft. Kelvyn Boy and Weather ft. Medikal in 2021,” she revealed.

According to her, that was the only year she felt acknowledged, and since then, she has not received any nominations, which has been a source of disappointment.

This year, however, she remains hopeful, setting her sights on the Highlife Song of the Year, Highlife Artiste of the Year, and Collaboration of the Year categories.

Beyond the awards, Sista Afia believes that musicians have a bigger role to play in society. She stressed the importance of giving back, saying, “I think as musicians, we can contribute when we all come together as a group and help society in so many ways.

“We can print books for students who don’t have them, especially schools that lack study materials. We can also come together to support disabled kids, or anyone who needs help.”

She emphasized that being an artist is not just about making music but also about making a positive impact. “As musicians, we shouldn’t just stay at home writing songs. We need to actively create positive change in society. Even the little we can do means a lot.”
