According to King Promise, he has been told that those behind the plot against him justified their actions with phrase that \u201che thinks he\u2019s too good for the industry, so they are teaching him a lesson\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em> \u201cI have heard stories like \u2018he thinks he\u2019s too good for the industry, so they are teaching him a lesson. But that\u2019s not the case. As I said, I\u2019m fully Ghanaian to the core. And anything I do to the rest of the world is me representing Ghana,\u201d<\/em> he said.<\/p>\n<p>King Promise stated that he is unperturbed about them blacklisting him in their awards schemes, except that there are growing concerns from his fans bout why he has not been winning awards in Ghana since he surfaced in the music industry even when it is obvious that he should win categories he has been nominated for.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cIt\u2019s not like it bothers me, but at the end of the day, when I wake up after the awards, I\u2019m the one trending, not even their awards. And I\u2019m like, Ah, my fans are not happy. And that one bothers me. Why is everyone talking about it? Because everyone knows that I deserve it,<\/em>\u201d he emphasized.<\/p>\n<p>King Promised new album, The 5 Star Album, is making rave reviews on every music platform.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI have done so well for myself and the country in general. I had the most streamed Ghanaian album of all time. And when that happened, I wasn\u2019t nominated for Artiste of the Year. But when I didn\u2019t have any album, I was nominated for Artiste of the Year.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cApparently, for the criteria, you must have an album and have your own concert. I have Promise land and an album doing crazy numbers. But they didn\u2019t. When I didn\u2019t have an album, they nominated me. So I\u2019m like, where\u2019s the problem? What is really happening?\u201d <\/em>he concluded with a rhetorical question.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Top-Tier Ghanaian singer and songwriter King Promise born Gregory Nii Bortey Newman was recently in an interview with media personality Delay on the Delay Show.
