The maiden edition of the award came off\u00a0at the Tyco City Hotel Auditorium in<\/p>\n

Sunyani on Friday, September 21, 2018.<\/p>\n

It was however highly publicized that Joyce Blessing won the Artiste of the Year Award.<\/p>\n

But\u00a0J Black Code Events, organizers for the prestigious\u00a0Brong Ahafo Music Awards<\/p>\n

have\u00a0shot down false such reports.<\/p>\n

However, in a press release, the Media and Communications Manager for J Black Code Events, Seth<\/p>\n

Wilson, revealed that Joyce Blessing rather won BAMA Gospel Artiste of the Year,<\/p>\n

BAMA Album of the Year and BAMA Songwriter of the Year.<\/p>\n

Read The Full Statement Below:<\/h3>\n

Our attention has been drawn to a false publication by Julie Kanz of Hello-gh.com on 22nd<\/p>\n

September 2018 captioned \u201cJoyce Blessing wins Brong Ahafo Artiste of the year.<\/p>\n

It is unfortunate that an esteemed blogger like her has not got its publication right<\/p>\n

and effort has been made to her to take down the story or change the caption.<\/p>\n

The Media & communications department of J-BLACK CODE EVENTS GHANA wishes<\/p>\n

to state in unequivocal terms that there is no iota of truth in that publication, please discard<\/p>\n

that publication as false. We don\u2019t know her motive behind that.<\/p>\n

We are officially informing you the media that Joyce Blessing is not BAMA artiste of the year.<\/p>\n

Joyce Blessing won BAMA Gospel artiste of the year, BAMA album of the year and BAMA songwriter of the year.<\/p>\n

BAMA artiste of the year 2018 was Kooko.<\/p>\n
