Best Rapper of the Year at the 2017 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards, M.anifest, has said in an interview with Accra-based Hitz FM that the hiplife\/hip hop artiste category of the VGMA is outdated.<\/p>\n
He stated that the hiplife\/hip hop artiste category has outlived its usefulness because he did not understand why there should be a best rapper category and a hiplife\/hop hip life category. According to him they mean virtually the same. He said this when the host asked him how he felt when his \u2018arch-rival\u2019 Sarkodie won that award.<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, I don\u2019t even understand what that category means. It is confusing. Hip life or hip hop is all about rap and if there is Best Rapper and I don\u2019t know what that category is about. I think it is outdated,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The \u2018godMC\u2019 rapper also explained why he did not pick his awards by himself. Speaking to KMJ, he said because the show dragged into the night, he was tired and wanted to take some rest.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt that time I needed to take a breather but some of our guys were there to take the award,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n
Prior to his explanation, some music fans had teased that he probably may have dodged picking the award because he was nervous due to the heated competition that had existed between him and Sarkodie, his supposedly highest contender in that category.<\/p>\n
M.anifest also won the Hip hop Song of the Year with \u2018godMc\u2019 at the awards. He was nominated together with Sarkodie \u2013 \u2018Trumpet\u2019 feat. Tee Phlow, Koo Ntakra, Strongman, Pappy Kojo, Donzy, & Medikal; E.L \u2013 \u2018Lalafalama\u2019; Medikal \u2013 \u2018Confirm\u2019 remix feat. Sarkodie; Edem \u2013 \u2018Egboame\u2019 remix feat. Tee Phlow, Cabum, Gemini, Ayat, Mac M, Medikal, Darko, & Bebelino, and Okyeame Kwame \u2013 \u2018Tension\u2019 feat. Cabum, Medikal & Sister Derby.<\/p>\n
