Many industry players have questioned why the track earned a nomination in the Reggae/Dancehall Song of the Year category at this year’s Vodafone Ghana Music Awards.

Genius, real name, Gideon Amoafo, who was called on Pluzz FM’s AM Pluzz show, on Thursday said the rhythm is not dancehall but Afro.

“It doesn’t fall within the dancehall or reggae category. It has a Francophone feel. I will make a reference to the Magic System, ‘Amoulanga’” he noted.

But Jupitaron the same platform argued that the song qualifies to be classified as such. According to him, because he is a dancehall artiste, whatever song he does is dancehall.

The song has been nominated alongside ‘Serwaa Akoto’ by Blakk Rasta, ‘It’s So Crazy’ by De Voice, ‘Hold Me Now’ by MzVee, ‘Go Higher’ by Stonebwoy and ‘Holiday’ by AK Songstress
