Afrobeat artiste, King Promise, has credited his Artiste of the Year win at the 2025 Telecel Ghana Music Awards to his hard work and commitment to putting music first.
Speaking in an interview on TV3 after his big win, the “Paris” hitmaker said he believes his consistent hard work and dedication to quality music were what earned him the top honour.
“I believe my work spoke for itself. I try to make sure I always put the music first. Whatever shenanigans follow, it’s really secondary for me. In the year under review, my album that I dropped has done extremely well,” he said.
King Promise also revealed that he had remained positive throughout the award season, never doubting his chances or giving energy to negative talk.
“I don’t put that kind of energy in the air, you know. I try to stay positive. Why put it in the air that ‘if I don’t win’? I don’t believe in the hearsay. It’s really how I felt (about winning),” he added.
When asked about the competition in the Artiste of the Year category, the singer praised his fellow nominees and described the race as healthy rather than hostile.
“Healthy competition, for me, it’s not rivalry because everyone who was nominated for the award definitely deserves to be there. For it to be something of a success, it had to be something of a challenge,” he said.
