I was robbed of VGMA Artiste of the Year in 2015- Edem

Ghanaian rapper, Edem has sparked controversy with assertions that he deserved to win the ultimate Artiste of the Year at Ghana Music Awards in 2015.

Dancehall artiste, Stonebwoy, was crowned the winner on the night in 2015 and that has been on record.

Interestingly, the Koene hit-maker, Edem insinuated that the Artiste of the Year was a “stolen verdict” in a recent post on Facebook.

Comparing his situation to the 2024 Ballon d'Or snub of Vinicius Jnr as Best Player of the Year, he hinted in the post that despite deserving the Artiste of the Year award, it went to another.

"Why #BallondOr come dey behave like the way VGMA take do me 2015 Artist of the Year? This is a heinous crime!! A daylight robbery!! … Vinicius Jr is the REAL WINNER'? " he wrote.

In 2015, the nominees for the Artiste of the Year category in the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards were Daddy Lumba, Stonebwoy, Guru, Edem, MzVee, Sarkodie and Samini.

Stonebwoy, Sarkodie and Edem who were the biggest winners on the night, took home three (3) awards each.

Edem's 'Koene' had several nominations as the remix of his song, 'The One' also earned him a nomination in the Best Rapper Category.
