Using the Grammy logo on my advertising flier disqualified me- MOGmusic
MOGmusic, a Ghanaian gospel artist, has stated that a mistake on his part resulted in his removal from the Grammy nominee list.
MOGmusic, born Nana Yaw Boakye, previously sparked fan enthusiasm by revealing that his album “Koinonia Phase II” was being considered for a Grammy Award.
MOGmusic fell short of nominations in categories such as Best Gospel Album, Album of the Year, and Best New Artist, despite his ambitions.
In an interview with Hitz FM, he apologised for the blunder, stating that the use of the official Grammy emblem on a promotional brochure was a mistake made by his social media team, which resulted in his disqualification.
“My social media handler made a mistake and put the official logo of the Grammys, and it got posted. Some Ghanaians drew my attention to it, and we quickly took it down, but it was too late. That is what went wrong on my side, it’s a mistake that my team made, and I take the bullet for myself,” MOGmusic stated.
Despite the defeat, MOGmusic advised Ghanaians to unite behind their artists and avoid ridiculing those who did not earn nominations.
He stressed the need for togetherness and solidarity within Ghana’s music community.
“One piece of advice I have for Ghanaians is that I think we need to be very supportive. Davido submitted his work time and time again, but he just got his nominations. I never saw Nigerians trolling Davido or comparing him to Burna Boy. I think what we should do is be more united so that these people will realize that there is a group of people from Ghana who support their people or go all out for their people,” he urged.

"I don't usually listen to those songs, but when they come on, I listen," she stated on Starr FM on November 24, 2023.](https://ghfrontpage.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Piesie-Esther-at-Adom-Praiz-2023-_01-630x420-1-jpg.webp "Piesie Esther openly declares love for Sarkodie's songs 44")
Piesie Esther, a gospel singer, has publicly commended rapper Sarkodie for his distinct style.
She added that she like his tracks because of his extraordinary ability to convey properly the lyrics in his rhymes.
Piesie Esther named Sarkodie’s song “Countryside,” which featured Black Sherif, as one of her favourites.
“What makes me love his [Sarkodie] rap is that you can hear what he is saying… recently, the one that he did with my man [Black Sherif], I love it. I don’t normally listen to those songs, but when they are playing, I listen” she said in an interview on Starr FM on November 24, 2023.
The award-winning gospel artist also expressed a desire to work with Sarkodie in the near future.
Wendy Asiamah Addo, also known as Wendy Shay, provided teaching and learning materials to students at the Weija Presbyterian Primary and Junior High School in the Greater Accra Region on Monday, November 20, 2023, through her organisation Shay Foundation.
Branded exercise books, newly made school uniforms, detergents, and refreshing drinking water were among the kind donations.
This charitable deed, which honoured International Children’s Day, demonstrates Wendy Shay’s dedication to encouraging student access to critical educational resources.
Speaking to the students and staff of the school, the ‘Bedroom Commando’ crooner said, “Shay Foundation is a nonprofit organisation that is committed to seeing to the welfare of both young and old. The organisation aims to support the educational needs of the community. Our main mission is to provide equitable access to quality education for underserved communities. It’s sad to see people drop out of school because they do not have the proper materials. Education is the key to the future, and we must do everything possible to make sure that every child has access.”
The acclaimed singer welcomed kindred spirits with open arms, pushing them to band together and make a lasting influence on the foundation’s noble cause.
Wendy Shay ensured that, in addition to educational contributions, entertainment had a role in the donation ceremony, exciting students with live performances of some of her favourites.
For the past three years, the Shay Foundation has been pursuing these humanitarian activities with zeal.
