Ghanaian rapper Nii Addo Quaynor, popularly known as Tinny, has opened up on why he has not won the best rapper in Ghana despite having several hit songs.
Speaking in an interview on Daybreak Hitz on October 22, 2025, Tinny mentioned that his use of the Ga language in his music has affected his recognition locally.
“No, I’ve not won the best rapper awards in Ghana before, but I did in Nigeria,” he said.

He continued, “Ghanaians said they don’t understand my language because I’m a Ga rapper. But Nigerians understood it, so they gave me the award.”
The rapper further stated that despite his songs receiving significant airplay over the years, the local music industry has not fully recognized his lyrical talent.
“Even though I had a lot of hit songs, I’ve never been the best rapper in Ghana before, but I’ve been the best rapper in Nigeria,” he added.
