Artiste manager, Kofi Donkor has thrown his weight behind budding gospel musician Evans Scott following his nominations in the upcoming Vodafone Ghana Music Awards 2022.

The artiste has sparked conversations in the music sphere after his two nominations in the Gospel Song of the Year and New Artiste of the Year categories.

Many have wondered if he truly deserved the recognition with the debate that he came from nowhere to win the nominations.

Thus, Mr Donkor acknowledged that Evans Scott’s Ma Pe K3 song has been topping Trace Gospel music for months, adding that, he is closer to attaining a million views with the visuals of the song on YouTube.

Taking to Facebook to address critics, he advised industry players to forgo the norm of pulling others down in moments when they are to be celebrated the most.

“He is Evans Scott. He has done so well for himself in the year under review. His song Mapek3 was topping 3 charts on Trace Gospel for months. The same song has almost a million views of YouTube and doing so well on other streaming platforms,” he wrote.

Mr Kofi Donkor further noted that it is sad to have colleagues try to rubbish his hard work on national television.

“I think we should help push some of these exceptional young guys up than make mockery of their hard work. I do not think this is the way to go,” he added.

In this year’s 3Music Awards, Evans Scott was nominated along Malcom Nuna and the sensational Kwame Yogot among others in the Breakthrough Act of the Year category. Amazingly, he was the only gospel act in the category.

In the VGMAs, the young king has 2 nominations with Mapek3. He has been nominated in the Best New Artiste category with Sefa, Mona 4 Real and Black Sherif among others.

In the same award scheme, he is in the Best Gospel Song category with Celestine Donkor, Diana Hamilton, Joyce Blessing, Joe Mettle, Bethel Revival Choir, Obaapa Christy, Ohemaa Mercy, Akesse Brempong and Empress Gifty.  Indeed, the youngest in the category.
