Upon seeing their omission, he snapped on his “Ekwansodwodwo” show on Okay FM that, how have the two artistes offended the organisers of the programme.
This is because, he thinks every time the aforementioned artistes’ work have shown to be deserving topmost recognition, they have been snubbed.
"So, Charter House and VGMA, in what way have Kofi Kinaata and Fameye wronged you? Charterhouse, organizers of VGMAs, I'm asking how they have wrong you. What have they done to the extent that they weren't nominated for the Artiste of the Year category? Keep doing that.

“Keep being selective and unfair to these artistes and continue to nominate your friends and acquaintances. Anytime it Is time for these two artistes to be rewarded, they don't get it. Just look at their works. Look how hard they have worked. Are you being fair at all? Your reward is in the hands of Shatta Wale." he said.
Before his comments, reggae dancehall act, Ras Kuuku, had earlier lashed out at VGMA board for repeatedly nominating Joe Mettle for the Artiste of the Year category even though, according to him, he had not worked hard enough to merit that recognition.
Ras had also pointed out that Fameye would have been a more worthy nominee for the Artiste of the Year category than gospel singer, Joe Mettle.
“What at all did Joe Mettle do this year to earn a nomination in the Artiste of the Year category? Which of Joe Mettle's songs can match up to Fameye's Praise? Tell me. All the artistes in the Artiste of the Year category did well last year, but Joe Mettle. All the music bloggers and fans want to know what he actually did for him to be there,” he told Hitz FM's Andy Dosty.
