Rapper and musician King Paluta defeated his management, Cofy Dela, by releasing not one, not two, but three successful songs during the Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA) year under review. This is why he is consistently called a tiny fry in the Artiste of the Year (AOTY) competition.
Cofy Dela finds it perplexing that the underdog is always brought up while the three possible winners—Stonebwoy, King Promise, and King Paluta—have more than earned a place at the table.
He feels that King Paluta, whose real name is Thomas Adjei Wireko, should be considered as a candidate and not simply an afterthought in discussions about the AOTY after releasing three amazing songs: "Makoma," "Aseda," and "For the Papping (Apicki)."
Following an exceptional year, Cofy Dela vehemently defended his artist status and demanded respect for King Paluta in an interview with Graphic Showbiz on Tuesday, April 22.
Cofy Dela contended that the "Makoma" hitmaker had an unparalleled impact on the music business during the reviewed year, citing the rapper's steady output, successful releases, and devoted fan base as proof of his dominant position in the market. (See Kwasi Ernest's "Read King Promise" for the TGMA Artiste of the Year award.) Don't feel sorry for me; I deserved my crown—King Promise.
"Based on the recordings that are now accessible, King Paluta is the artist that merits it the most in the AOTY category because of his widespread influence and presence throughout the reviewed year. Can someone name even two award-winning songs from among the contenders?
"King Paluta has three songs—"Aseda," "Makoma," and "For The Papping (Apicki)"—that aren't just releases; they're absolute smashes. These are street songs that were widely played and had a profound emotional impact on the public.
Additionally, Paluta's songs were crucial in igniting political rallies throughout the election campaign season last year. Did any of the candidates possess this kind of power? No! It's especially unfortunate that his physical attributes are being used against him for an award whose qualifications are clearly stated, he said, adding that "surprisingly, people have diverted the AOTY debate to international influence."
Cody Dela discussed his motivation for managing King Paluta after leaving the AOTY, stating, "I was inspired and drawn to King Paluta's unique vision, drive, passion, and commitment to his craft."
He is the epitome of tenacity, commitment, and reliability. He said that this conviction has strengthened his will to succeed and reach his full potential.
