Ghanaian rapper Teephlow has expressed his surprise at not having won the TGMA Rapper of the Year award, despite his numerous nominations. In an interview on Hitz FM, Teephlow admitted he is puzzled by his lack of victory in the category, even though he does not focus on awards when creating music. The only artiste among his nominated peers without a win, Teephlow questioned whether his record indicates he has fallen short of the standards for a Best Rapper accolade.
Despite this, he has moved on and no longer lets the matter affect his work. Teephlow also commented on the selection process for TGMA Rapper of the Year, arguing that streaming numbers should not be the sole determining factor. He believed the award should take into account an artiste's overall body of work, lyrical skill, message and influence on listeners.
Teephlow suggested separate judging panels for technical and broader categories, asserting that the expertise needed for each is distinct. Though awards are not a driving force for his music, Teephlow's remarks revealed his surprise at being the only artiste among his contemporaries without a TGMA Rapper of the Year trophy.
