Making sense of my win means I'm doubting God’s ability – Diana Hamilton

Gospel artiste Diana Hamilton has said she doesn't want to doubt God's ability by trying to understand her huge win at the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA) as Artiste of the Year.

The Adom singer became the second Gospel artiste to bag the Artiste of The Year trophy at the event which came off at the Grand Arena of the Accra International Conference Centre on Saturday, June 26 and run into the wee hours of Sunday, June 26.

Her win has been met with mixed reactions with some suggesting that Afrobeats artiste KiDi, who did exploits in the year under review should have won.

However, Diana Hamilton remains unfazed and has taken strength and joy in the lyrics of Capable God, a song by Nigerian Gospel singer Judikay.

In a post on Instagram some hours after her won, Diana wrote, “family, what God cannot do doesn’t exist. I’m trying to put this all together but making sense of it means I’m doubting God's ability.

"To everyone who supported me through your prayers, words of encouragement public or private support I am grateful, it's been a long day in a bit, this is to encourage somebody out there, the road might be long but it's will be worth it just trust the process."]

Diana Hamilton became the second female artiste to win the Artiste of the Year after Ebony Reigns won posthumously in 2018.

She also picked up three other awards on the night; Vodafone Most Popular Song of the Year, Gospel Artiste of the Year and Gospel Song of the Year.
