Ghanaian rapper Sherif Abdul Majeed, better known as Maccasio, has once again proven his prowess in the dancehall genre by securing a coveted nomination for the dancehall/reggae song of the year at the Ghana Music awards UK 2023. The nomination stems from his chart-topping single “Eyes on You,” a collaboration featuring the renowned StoneBwoy. The track, which hails from his acclaimed Glory album, has captured the hearts of music enthusiasts far and wide.
Maccasio’s latest nomination marks a triumphant moment in his career, especially after narrowly missing out on the same accolade at last year’s Vodafone Ghana Music Awards. With “Eyes on You,” the artist has undoubtedly showcased his dedication to crafting captivating dancehall tunes that resonate with his fans.
However, not everyone seems to be in unanimous agreement regarding the nomination. Media personality Gee Face has expressed skepticism about the decision to include “Eyes on You” in the prestigious Vodafone Ghana Music Awards lineup. Gee Face posits that the nomination could potentially be viewed as a strategic move to cater to the artist’s northern fanbase, rather than a recognition grounded in the song’s artistic merit.
The ongoing debate surrounding Maccasio’s nomination underscores the subjectivity inherent in the world of music awards. While some may enthusiastically applaud the recognition of “Eyes on You” as a standout dancehall/reggae track, others like Gee Face raise valid questions about the selection process and its alignment with the song’s overall quality.
