According to them, since 2019, the \u2018Chop Life\u2019 crooner has not received any award in Ghana, but has received awards in Nigeria and other European countries, a situation they term as \u2018unfair\u2019 to his brand.<\/p>\n<p>On the other side, some die-hard fans also believe that the Legacy Life Entertainment signee is more focused on making a global impact and receiving huge recognition with his songs rather than winning local awards, since he hardly posts his nominations on social media for vote support from fans.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to Berla Mundi on <em>TV3<\/em>\u2019s Morning Show, \u2018New Day\u2019, King Promise emphatically stated that his outfit is very much interested in awards organised in Ghana, entreating his fans to turn a deaf ear to such news that local awards are of no value to his brand.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have spoken to a couple of fans who always say after my win in 2019 at the VGMA, I have not received any award again.
