The lead-up to the Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA) has taken a dramatic turn, thanks to media personality DJ Slim’s sharp retweet targeting rapper King Paluta. The controversy surrounds the Artiste of the Year award, with DJ Slim intensifying the competition by criticizing Paluta’s seemingly relaxed approach.
In a tweet that sparked widespread debate, DJ Slim told King Paluta to “go hard or go home”, urging him to step up his game in the face of strong rivals like King Promise and Stonebwoy. “I go delete ur dreadlocks, have you seen the energy being exerted in the race by King Promise and Stonebwoy?” DJ Slim tweeted. “You are coming against these big acts and you want to relax? Asuo sit up. Your days underground are over — this is the big stage.”
The exchange follows DJ Slim’s earlier assertion that only Stonebwoy or King Promise should win the top award. He expressed disappointment at the idea of anyone else taking home the title, stating, “You can’t show less interest in the scheme and expect to be awarded. This nonsense must stop.” King Paluta responded, labeling Slim’s remarks as “loose talk” and questioning the fairness of awarding artists based on public relations efforts rather than their actual achievements.
King Paluta defended his position, arguing that his music and impact throughout the year are sufficient for recognition, even without extensive PR campaigns. However, DJ Slim’s latest remarks have shifted the conversation, suggesting that talent alone may not be enough to succeed in the competitive landscape of the TGMA.
The drama unfolding between DJ Slim and King Paluta has sparked a heated debate among music fans, with many taking to social media to share their opinions on the matter. While some have praised DJ Slim for keeping it real, others have criticized him for being too harsh on King Paluta.
As the TGMA approaches, the competition is expected to heat up even further, with artists and their camps vying for top honors. DJ Slim’s comments have undoubtedly added fuel to the fire, and it will be interesting to see how King Paluta responds to the criticism. Will he take DJ Slim’s advice and step up his game, or will he stick to his guns and trust in his music to speak for itself?
The Artiste of the Year award is one of the most coveted prizes at the TGMA, and the competition is fierce. With DJ Slim’s comments stirring up controversy, the award’s legitimacy has come under scrutiny. Can King Paluta prove his doubters wrong and take home the award, or will King Promise or Stonebwoy emerge victorious? Only time will tell.
