I feel like I have a higher calling than just letting things get to me because a lot of people listen to me and it brings joy into their lives. Put a smile on their faces, it makes them feel good and lifts them up when they are down.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That is like a higher calling. In 2019, I won at VGMA and since then I&#8217;ve not won until this year. The years I hadn&#8217;t won, I was still going hard. I just kept going, just kept dropping music. It is funny when those things happen, I always come back with a smash,&#8221; she stated.<\/p>\n<p>Many fans of King Promise heaved a sigh of relief after winning the Afrobeat\/Afro Pop Artiste of the Year award and Album of the Year at this year\u2019s VGMAs which came off at the Grand Arena of Accra International Conference Centre (AICC) on Saturday, May 6.<\/p>\n<p>King Promise had always been a favourite contender but unfortunately, he has not been lucky to win any category since 2019 but the \u201ccurse\u201d has been broken this year.<\/p>\n<h3><strong\/><\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"peace_black_text_4\">Source: graphic.com.gh<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"clear:both\">&#13;<\/p>\n<tr>&#13;<\/p>\n<td><span class=\"peace_red_text_1\"><\/span>: <span class=\"peace_ash_text_1\">Opinions expressed here are those of the writers and do not reflect those of .  accepts no responsibility legal or otherwise for their accuracy of content.
