Media personality and disc jockey, DJ Slim, has raised concerns about the lack of proper coordination between King Paluta and MC Portfolio during the promotional period leading up to the 2025 Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMAs).
Speaking in an interview on Hitz FM, DJ Slim stated that the artiste and his supposed publicist were not aligned in their communication strategy, an inconsistency he believes may have affected King Paluta’s campaign.
“I feel they were not in sync. Both the artiste and the PR were not in sync. You realise that with the King Promise campaign, with that of Stonebwoy’s campaign, you realise that the PR and the artiste, they were in sync,” he said.
DJ Slim went on to argue that in the lead up to an event like the TGMAs, it requires unified message from both the artiste and their PR representative.
However, he noted that there was a disconnect in King Paluta’s case, pointing out that while the artiste emphasised his dominance in the metrics as justification for winning, his PR, MC Portfolio, was separately pushing for public votes.
“Whatever the artiste will say on the platform goes hand in hand with what the PR is also saying. But this is a clear case where the artiste is saying, the metrics speaks for itself and I deserve to win. But then the PR is out there telling people to vote, so it is not in sync,” he added.
When asked if he thinks MC Portfolio was officially appointed as King Paluta’s publicist for the TGMA season or if he assumed the role informally, DJ Slim clarified that there was no formal announcement naming Portfolio as PR unlike what the other camps did.
“We have the team from King Promise issuing a press statement saying that Tilly is their PR for the TGMA season. We also had a presser from BHIM Nation saying that Vida is their PR for Burniton Music Group. Did you ever see a publication saying Portfolio, the MC, is a PR for King Paluta?” DJ Slim questioned.
