Huawei To Award King Promise, Other VGMA Nominees Despite Their Lose

Huawei Ghana has said they intend to reward several other musicians for their good works and contributions towrds Ghana Music. This according to them is despite their loss at the recently held Ghana Music Awards.

The company started with this initiative on April 21 by rewarding Patapaa Amisty.

They rewarded Patapaa Amisty the Most Popular Song of The Year at the just ended Music Magic Comedy (MMC) Live Concert.

Patapaa was awarded a Huawei smart phone as his price at the National Theatre.

Marketing Manager for Huawei Ghana, Dennis Laryea has disclosed that his outfit believes in creative persons so has decided to encourage them.

He continued that Patapaa’s award presented to him at the (MMC) event was the first of the several awards they will be giving to entertainers in the coming days.

When asked why they honoured only Patapaa leaving King Promise, Kumi Guitar and other musicians who also bagged nominations at the 19th edition of VGMAs but walked home with nothing,

Mr. Laryea told Zionfelix, host of the mid-morning show that plans are far advanced to give the ‘Selfish’ singer an award due to his good works as an artist.

This was when he was asked why they’ve rewarded only Patapaa. Meanwhile there were others like King Promise, Kumi Guitar etc. These artistes also bagged several nominations at the 19th edition of the VGMAs, yet walked empty handed.

 “We would embark on this activity to recognize creative people who have done a lot but are not being rewarded. What we did with Patapaa is just the first of the many we will be doing in the coming days. And I think Ghanaians are welcoming it. Fortunately, on that night we honored Patapaa. We had King Promise performing so we had a long chat and I believe he will also be having his soon.” Dennies Laryea stated.

He also explained why the ‘One Corner’ hitmaker was surprised with the Most Popular Song Of The Year honors award.

Mr. Laryea revealed that; “We are all aware that Patapaa did a good job last year. We feel his song went very far. Huawei works with a lot of Chinese and they all love the song One Corner. So to motivate him, we felt like doing this for him to know that Ghanaians appreciate his talent.”

The Marketing Manager who was not willing to disclose items given to the musician only said Patapaa was presented a latest Huawei Y7 Prime 2018 phone adding that other products “are between the musician and our company.”

Huawei is a global leader in telecoms with a great range of products including mobile phones, tablets, wearables, broadband devices and home devices.
