In a recent interview with Sadick Cybha on North Arts, Maccasio revealed his growing disillusionment with the Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA) and other Ghanaian awards. He attributes this to what he perceives as unfair treatment towards artists from Northern Ghana.

According to Maccasio, the awards board allegedly undermines artists from Northern Ghana simply because of their geographical location. He claims that despite putting in significant effort, artists from the North are overlooked, while their counterparts in other regions receive recognition with less effort.

Maccasio’s comments highlight concerns about regional bias in Ghana’s music awards. His sentiments resonate with many artists who feel marginalized due to their location. The issue raises questions about the awards’ ability to fairly represent and celebrate Ghanaian music’s diversity.

This perceived bias could have implications for the music industry, potentially discouraging talented artists from participating in awards or seeking recognition.

It also underscores the need for a more inclusive and equitable approach to celebrating Ghanaian music.
