Ghanaian rapper Amerado has revealed that he is not perturbed about Stonebwoy’s “Psalm 23” winning the Reggae Song of the Year category at the 2025 Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA) over his track “Ankonam”.
In an interview on Hitz FM, Monday, June 2, 2025 Amerado explained that Psalm 23 is one of his favourite songs from Stonebwoy, hence he accepted the outcome that he could not win that category despite expecting to win it.
The ‘Kweku Ananse’ hitmaker made the revelations when he was asked which of the categories he was most hopeful of winning after securing three nominations at the 2025 TGMAS.
“But with the ones that I got nominated for, I think Ankonam. I expected Ankonam to win the Reggae Song of the Year but then it went to Stonebwoy, which is also fine because Psalm 23 is also one of my favourite songs from Stonebwoy,” he stated.
Before responding directly to the host, Amerado expressed disappointment that his song “Abronoma” did not receive a nomination in the ‘Songwriter of the Year’ category – which he strongly expected.
According to him, “Abronoma” was one of the most well-written songs of the year and deserved recognition. He said its exclusion from the category was a huge disappointment.
“I was expecting to be in the Songwriter of the Year category with Abronoma and up to now it still marvels my mind why I didn’t go in there,” Amerado said.
