TGMA controversy hasn’t affected my relationship with Diana Hamilton – Piesie Esther
Ghanaian gospel musician Piesie Esther says the 2026 TGMA controversy has not affected her relationship with fellow gospel musician Diana Hamilton.
Ghanaian gospel singer Piesie Esther maintains that her friendship with Diana Hamilton remains unaffected by the 2026 TGMA controversy. Tensions arose ahead of the Telecel Ghana Music Awards between supporters of both musicians, as their respective fan bases debated which deserved the Artiste of the Year title. Piesie's song Nyame Ye earned nominations in the Most Popular Song and Gospel Song of the Year categories, while Diana was nominated in the Artiste of the Year category.
Piesie's supporters argued that she had a bigger hit and greater public appeal, suggesting a potential mistake in the nomination process. Some radio and TV personalities voiced their support for Piesie and accused organizers of possible compromise. However, speaking on Daybreak Hitz on Hitz FM, Piesie stated that no rift exists between her and Diana.
She acknowledged her disappointment at not being nominated for Artiste of the Year but said she was not avoiding social media due to potential backlash. Currently, Piesie is promoting her new track, Great Change, and preparing for the fifth Flora By Grace concert, scheduled for November 1st in Accra and November 15th in Kumasi.
