However, it is beset with a number of hurdles which threaten its smooth running, such as possible clashes with VGMA festivities, leading to a conundrum over performing acts, as well as Charterhouse Ghana\u2019s recent marriage with Media General.<\/p>\n<p>The nominees jam for the 2018 VGMAs is slated for the same day as the maiden 3Music Awards. This means possible clashes with acts on the night, many of whom are also expected to be in Cape Cost for the VGMA nominees jam, which clearly possesses the upper hand on all fronts, as it has dominated the scene for a significant while.<\/p>\n<p>Again, Charterhouse\u2019s recent divorce from longtime media collaborator GHOne TV, and subsequent  partnership deal with Media General (owners of TV3, 3FM, 3news.com, Connect FM, and Akoma FM),  will prove a major challenge for 3 Music.<\/p>\n<p>With pronounced interests in the 3 Music franchise, the Pearl Esua-Mensah \u2013 led outfit\u2019s February 26 action \u2013which sees TV3 and its sister stations handed exclusive access to the announcement of nominees and other pre-event rituals, as well as the post-event jam, \u2013leaves many with questions concerning brand loyalty: to 3Music, or Charterhouse and the VGMAs.<\/p>\n<p>As it stands now, the 3Music Awards ceremony is expected to go on as planned. Many industry persons are however not enthused about the unhealthy ambush they have suffered at the hands of the VGMAs.<\/p>\n<p>Sarkodie, Wizkid, Ebony, Shatta Wale, Mr Eazi, Kojo Funds, and Fancy Gadam have all scored nominations in various categories.<\/p>\n<p>Below is the full list of nominees:<\/p>\n<p>MALE ACT OF THE YEAR<\/p>\n<p>1.
