2019 artiste of the year, Kuami Eugene, has disclosed that prior to winning the award, he had a revelation that his colleague musician, King Promise had been crowned the VGMA New Artiste of the Year 2019.

He, however, said he was able to overturn this fate through fervent prayer.

Speaking in an interview on JoyPrime, he noted that: “I once had a dream. It was the new artiste of the year. It was myself, KiDi, Darko Vibes, King Promise, Kwesi Arthur, and Kurl Songx. It was a tight competition. Two days before the awards, I had a dream that I didn’t take the award. I woke up. I didn’t feel good at all. I have to pray against all the boys. I told my mom to assist me in praying. The boys don’t want me to win.”

He further disclosed he was very passionate about winning the award since he wants to tell a good story to his children (in the future.)

“It was my first time on the VGMA platform, so the whole VGMA effect was on, and Kuami Eugene on that platform for the first time was on my brain. I had a difficult time letting it go. The new artiste of the year, I actually needed that award because it was a tight competition.”

“It wouldn’t have been bad if it went to King Promise or KiDi or some of my brothers, but at the end of the day, this was New Artiste of the Year. I wanted to be remembered for that in our year; I mean, I have to tell my kids that I beat KiDi and King Promise. I have to be able to tell my kids that. That was what I was thinking, and in my dream, someone is taking it away. I think it was King Promise. I wasn’t happy, at least it should be a taller person,” he told Doreen Avio on Joy Prime.

In 2019, Kwami Eugene received 7 nominations at the Ghana Music Awards and proceeded to win the awards for Album of the Year, Producer of the Year, and Highlife Artist of the Year. He also bagged the prestigious Artist of the Year and High-life Artist of the Year at the 2020 Ghana Music Awards.
