Okyeame Kwame<\/strong><\/p>\n Popular hiplife\/highlife artiste, Kwame Nsiah Appau, known in showbiz as Okyeame Kwame, said he expected to receive more than one award with his song, \u2018Yeeko\u2019, at the just-ended Vodafone Ghana Awards (VGMAs).<\/p>\n According to him, \u201cthe song was such a big one,\u201d and should have won more awards considering the massive streams and recognition it attracted.<\/p>\n The song, which features Kuami Eugene, received three nominations, including Collaboration of the Year, Vodafone Most Popular Song, and Hiplife Song of the Year \u2013 the only category it won.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen Kuami and I were recording the song, award wasn\u2019t on our minds. This was during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, and we wanted to do a song to calm nerves. The very first week we released the song, it became a hit.<\/p>\n \u201cWe were not looking for an award, [but] when the song became a hit and all those streams, and it was trending for about five months, then we realised that it will collect some awards (sic<\/em>),\u201d he said in an interview on\u00a0Prime Morning<\/strong>, Monday.<\/p>\n \u201cI am grateful for the one I have. I can\u2019t wait to have it and add it to my collection.\u201d<\/p>\n Okyeame Kwame expressed gratitude to his fans, the media and people who contributed in diverse ways to keep him relevant in the industry.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was amazing. It\u2019s as if every year, I win an award or some awards. I was the only artiste in that award scheme that won the first VGMA, and also, the last one they just did, I won one. VGMA has five different plaques \u2013 I have one of each of the five.<\/p>\n \u201cSo, to tell you the truth, I am honoured, and I think I am the only artiste in Ghana who has received one of all the five different changes and evolutions of the plaque.<\/p>\n \u201cFor me, I think God has blessed the people and me in Ghana especially; they have made it possible that I can eat from music until I die, and for that, I am forever grateful (sic<\/em>),\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n \n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Okyeame Kwame Popular hiplife\/highlife artiste, Kwame Nsiah Appau, known in showbiz as Okyeame Kwame, said he expected to receive more than one award with his song, \u2018Yeeko\u2019, at the just-ended Vodafone Ghana Awards (VGMAs).
