Controversial King Paluta is no longer a candidate for the TGMA Artist of the Year Award, according to Ghanaian media personality Sally Mann.

Speaking during an interview, Sally Mann said the award would be a straight battle between Stonebwoy and King Promise because they fit every single criterion the award is based on.

Mann asserted that while Paluta satisfies some requirements, he does not meet others.

She said Paluta has no brand that distinguishes him as an artist to propel him to win such a prestigious award.
