Stonebwoy And I Should Be Aiming For IRAWMA Awards And Not BET

Award winning Dancehall artiste Shatta Wale has asked his fellow dancehall artiste Stonebwoy, to aim for IRWMA Awards and not BET because that is the award for the genre of music they are into.

The International Reggae and World Music Awards (IRWMA )is an award which is hosted in Jamaica every year to honor distinguished reggae dancehall artistes all over the world. He stressed that BET Awards main focus is on Hiplife which the likes of Sarkodie fit in.

” Ghanaians like that too much! If you don’t get a BET award, they discredit every other award you get which shouldn’t be so. My brother Stonebwoy and I should be focused on IRAWMA Awards because it celebrates African dancehall artistes across the globe. See let me tell you this, the BET is dominated by Hip Hop and RnB artistes and I will always pick the IRAWMA over it because its the only award scheme that celebrates dancehall artistes.”

“The BET awards should be fought over by people like Sarkodie since that’s his field..so I don’t understand it when Ghanaians start trolling me for not getting BET nomination or awards..it doesn’t make any sense”. he added.
