Reggae musician, Ras Kuuku says his tour of the ghettos with his plaque in 2020 popularized the Ghana Music Awards scheme.

According to him, there is no doubt that he is part of Ghana Music Awards’ favourite artists.

Speaking with Andy Dosty on Daybreak Hitz, he mentioned that he is the only artist who has made the VGMA (now TGMA) “popular and bright.”

“When I received the VGMA award, I made the scheme look so popular and bright. I am the only artist who has made the scheme more popular than any artist has.

“VGMA has their favourite and this is true because Kojo Kurankye might be their favourite, but in all, there is no doubt Ras Kuuku is one of the best in Ghana”, he said on Hitz FM.

He also shared his reasons for touring the ghettos with the plaque, highlighting it is also a part of Ghana.

“I went parading around town with the award because those people made me who I am now. They haven’t seen the award before so I needed them to see what it looked like and I left the plague in the ghetto because that place is also part of Ghana”, he added.

He further denied claims of him misplacing his award.

“I did not lose it, and neither did I misplace it. It is in my house. The award delivered through the dispatch was not mine, but that of one artist who didn’t have ‘sense’,” he said.
