Ghanaian musician King Paluta has expressed concerns over the shifting support of certain social media influencers who initially championed his bid for the 2025 TGMA Artiste of the Year title but have now thrown their weight behind another contender.
I’ve seen one guy who was supporting me heavily. Even last week… Every time Paluta for AOTY. Yesterday, I checked, and he now says I don’t deserve the award anymore. Every Twitter influencer on the payroll already? Lol Ghana Music, wake up! (in Wendy Shay’s voice), he wrote
Bro, I’m not mad at you at all. Even me, if they bring me the money, I’d take it. Do your job bro, he added

The 2025 TGMA Artiste of the Year category features a formidable lineup, including Kweku Smoke, Stonebwoy, Joe Mettle, King Promise, and Black Sherif. With such a strong field of nominees, speculation remains high regarding the final outcome.
In 2024, King Promise was widely tipped to win but was ultimately beaten to the title by Afro-Dancehall icon Stonebwoy. The 2025 edition is once again highly competitive, with many industry experts viewing King Promise and King Paluta as the leading contenders.
