With time, Ghanaians will have their moment at the Grammys – Medikal
Ghanaian rapper Medikal shared his perspective on Ghana’s absence from the Grammy Awards nomination list, emphasizing the importance of patience in the pursuit of global recognition. He believes that Ghanaians will eventually shine on the international stage and that rushing the process is not necessary.
Despite the disappointment of not securing a nomination this year, Medikal expressed optimism about gradually building a reputation for Ghanaian music globally. He stressed that the absence from the nomination list doesn’t diminish the quality of Ghanaian music and artists. Instead, he sees it as an opportunity for preparation and improvement for the future.
Speaking on UTV Showbiz Night, Medikal acknowledged the challenging task of achieving such recognition but highlighted the massive efforts that artists are putting in to pave the way for the day when Ghana’s music industry will break into the global spotlight.
“I feel everything is about time, there was a time when no Ghanaian was at the BET but gradually Sarkodie, Stonebwoy, and Blacko have sealed their names in the Award book, and other artist nominees so with time the moment will present itself”
“You ought to have worked tirelessly to gain such recognition, those who made the list won several BETs, filled O2 Arena, and a host of many so people shouldn’t think Ghana missing out on the Grammy undermines our music quality or otherwise, it’s just a matter of time”
“Stonebwoy is a hardworking artist and it’s very evident in his works, it is nothing bad or funny for people to troll him for missing out on the nominee’s list after submitting his catalog for consideration, it’s just like sitting an exam, and waiting on your score. if it didn’t happen this year, maybe it will happen next year”
