Ghanaian gospel musician MOGmusic, has admitted that a mistake on his part led to his disqualification from the Grammy nomination list.
When MOGmusic, real name Nana Yaw Boakye, revealed that his album “Koinonia Phase II” was up for a Grammy Award, fans were ecstatic.
When the final nominees were revealed,MOGmusic did not receive the number of nominations he had hoped for, including Best New Artist, Album of the Year, and Best Gospel Album.
He accepted responsibility for the omission in an interview with Hitz FM, stating that his social media staff made a mistake by using the official Grammy emblem on a promotional flier, which resulted in his disqualification.
“My social media handler made a mistake and put the official logo of the Grammys, and it got posted. Some Ghanaians drew my attention to it, and we quickly took it down, but it was too late. That is what went wrong on my side, it’s a mistake that my team made, and I take the bullet for myself,” MOGmusic stated.

MOGmusic asked Ghanaians to support their artists in spite of the setback and refrain from making fun of those who were not nominated.
He emphasised the need for unity and support within the Ghanaian music community.
“One piece of advice I have for Ghanaians is that I think we need to be very supportive. Davido submitted his work time and time again, but he just got his nominations. I never saw Nigerians trolling Davido or comparing him to Burna Boy. I think what we should do is be more united so that these people will realize that there is a group of people from Ghana who support their people or go all out for their people,” he urged.
