I’ve never received an award in 20 years because of my branding – Mzbel

Ghanaian hiplife artiste Mzbel has spoken about not winning an award after doing music for the past 20 years.

Mzbel who first shot into the limelight in 2004 with her maiden album Awoso Me, became the biggest female artiste during her prime. 

She was also very popular on other African countries including Nigeria, Liberia, Ivory Coast, Kenya, among others.

However, while she admits she had her flowers from those countries, she claims her own country, Ghana has not celebrated he with any award. 

Speaking on Joy FM’s Showbiz A-Z, she said: “I have been in the industry for 20 years; I’ve never received any award. 

She made the statement when talking about what she would do differently if she was yet to start music. (More articles on Mzbel: Mzbel Disappointed! –Laments being snubbed over ‘NDC jobs’, VIDEO: Songstress Mzbel explains why she prefers relationships with married men)

According to her, because she really didn’t prepare for music career, she did things anyhow and that in a way affected her.

“I am not blaming anybody. I think it is the branding. If I were starting music today, I would put more effort in my branding. The branding wasn’t put together well. I was just put out like that, no proper branding. I would go on radio and say anything, put on any outfit, go where I am not supposed to,” she said.

Mzbel, known for her outspoken nature, also said she has not retired from music. She is working on a new song that addresses bad friends.

She is known for songs like 16 Years, Awoso Me, Yopoo, Edey Be, Twe Ma Me, Braa Fiifi and My Bonnet.
