Although he came close to winning the Artiste of the Year award in 2024, it eluded him and Stonebwoy took home the prize.
But King Promise came back stronger securing 10 nominations for the 26th TGMAs including the coveted Artiste of the Year, Album/EP of the Year, and Telecel Most Popular Song.
Giving his acceptance speech, King Promise urged the younger generation not to give up on their dreams and believe in God’s timing just as he did and has been made “the chosen one.”
“If any young person is watching me right now who has a dream, use me as an example of resilience. My first year when I broke out on the scene, I had seven nominations and I left with zero.
