Ghanaian rapper Amerado has sparked a wave of conversations with his confident declaration ahead of the 2025 Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA).

Taking to social media, he boldly stated that any discussion about the Artiste of the Year category that excludes his name is an "exposure of ignorance" and a setback to the industry and upcoming artists.

The post received mixed reactions from fans and industry players.

While some praised his confidence and agreed with his claim, others accused him of being overly ambitious, especially with fierce competition from notable names like King Paluta, King Promise, Stonebwoy, Kofi Kinaata, and Fameye among others.
