Ghanaian entertainment pundit, Ziga, has stated that there is a possibility that the disqualification of King Paluta's hit song, Makoma, from TGMA contention might have something to do with politics.
Speaking on United Showbiz on United Television (UTV) on Saturday, March 29, 2025, Ziga said it cannot be ruled out that the song's use by the former ruling NPP, who are currently in opposition, contributed to the song's exclusion from TGMA nomination.
One of the biggest songs of the last calendar year, King Paluta's Makoma failed to receive any nomination for the 2025 Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA).
The TGMA Board has yet to publicly comment on the issue but it is widely understood that a supposedly 'profane' lyric led to the song's disqualification.
