Ghanaian gospel artist Piesie Esther insists that the 2026 Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA) controversy has not impacted her relationship with singer Diana Hamilton. The two had been in a heated debate prior to the awards ceremony, with supporters of both artists vying to determine who deserved a spot in the Artiste of the Year category.

The tension escalated when Piesie did not receive a nomination in the top category but instead won the Most Popular Song and Gospel Song of the Year awards. Piesie's fans believed she had a better song and greater visibility than Diana, and some claimed the organizers had made an error in selecting Diana over Piesie. Despite the controversy, Piesie told Doreen Avio and Kwame Dadzie on Daybreak Hitz that she and Diana's relationship remains intact.
