Award winning Ghanaian highlife artiste, Kofi Kinaata, has stated that that he would have won VGMA Artiste of the Year and Most Popular Song of the year if Coronavirus had not disrupted the event that was slated for this year. 

He revealed his opinion in an interview with Amansan Krakye on Radio Central in Cape Coast saying, "as for 2019, hands down without sounding arrogant I am by far the artiste of the year and I'm not saying 2020.

“I did more than any artiste in that year with hit songs, several ambassadorial deals, numerous shows that I performed and on top of all I was adjudged the most influential youth"

"This doesn't mean that if the awards scheme should happen today I would be expecting to win the artiste of the year by hook or crook. I believe I'm the artiste of the year in 2019 and anyone's opinion doesn't bother me".

Popular opinion would pick Sarkodie's "Oofeetso" for the crown but Kofi made solid arguments to dispute the claim.

"Oofeetso is a good song and I really respect my senior colleague Sarkodie. But when we say most popular song then it means that song crossed boundaries which I believe my song 'Things fall apart', “stands tall".

"There is an alcoholic drink called Bailey's which is very expensive but you can only find it at night clubs. There is another drink called Coca Cola which is not expensive but you can find it at night clubs, churches, mosques and even Saudi Arabia where alcoholic beverages are not sold.

"That's the horizon that 'things fall apart' attained, it was everywhere and that's what we call most popular song" he explained.
