Ghanaian self-styled Amapiano king, Ice Boss, formally known as DJ Azonto, has broken his silence after fans noticed his absence on the red carpet at the 2025 Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMAs).
Many labelled the red carpet dull and uninspiring, but DJ Azonto believes he understands exactly why.
According to the “Fa No Fom” hitmaker, speaking with Amansan FM, his first appearance on the TGMA red carpet introduced a fresh version of boldness and creativity that other celebrities have not been able to live up to.
“Fashion isn’t always supposed to make sense to everyone. It’s a symbol, a statement, and if you understand what you’re wearing and what it represents, that’s enough,” he said.
DJq Azonto, known for his controversial outfits that push the boundaries of Ghanaian red carpet culture, further explained that his absence wasn’t intentional.
“I have been away from Ghana for a while, so I missed the opportunity. But I totally get why people are saying the red carpet was boring. No one took risks for Charterhouse; they all felt classy,” he added.
When asked why this year’s event failed to trend online like his previous red carpet appearances, DJ Azonto blamed the situation on a lack of understanding by the patrons.
“It’s simple. Most of these musicians don’t understand the red carpet. People in other countries wear meat, balloons, or walk barefoot to make a statement.
“But here, people play it safe. Apart from Shatta Wale, I am the only musician who can make the BET or TGMA trend globally through red carpet presence. No one else has the heart to go beyond the norm, and it hurts to watch the red carpet that boring,” he said.
Meanwhile, DJ Azonto is set to release another banger titled “Wopi P3 Asa” on his mother’s birthday, August 14, 2025.
