Organizers of the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards have released the nominees for the 22nd edition of the show.
After suspending Shatta Wale and Stonebwoy from participating in the event for a year, the board this year accepted works from artistes that feature either of them.
However, it seems the duo did not submit their own works for nomination after expressing their displeasure at how Charterhouse announced the lifting of the ban.
Below are the list of nominees
