However, TGMA currently restricts the ‘Best Gospel Song’ category to only gospel artistes. According to the scheme’s definition, the award goes to “the song adjudged by the Academy, Board, and the General Public as the most popular Christian song, commercially released in the year under review,” with eligibility limited to gospel performers.

Ras Kuuku has released several gospel-inspired songs, including Me Mpaebo, Gyedie featuring MOGMusic, and his latest track Tumi, which features gospel singer Broda Sammy.
