I Didn’t Think Ghanaians Have Reached Grammy Level Yet Pappy Kojo – Ghanaian rapper, Jason Gaisie, popularly known as Pappy Kojo, stirred controversy with his recent statement on the Grammy Awards, expressing unawareness of Ghanaians filing for Grammy nominations.

Pappy Kojo made this statement in an interview on Ameyaw TV while sharing his thoughts on Stonebwoy’s Grammy nomination snub.
“I didn’t even know Ghanaians have reached where we get nominated for Grammys, I don’t know. I’m just saying because you know when it comes to Grammys it’s aways Nigerians, they always mention Nigerians, I don’t even know Ghanaians it’s our turn”, he said.
Furthermore, the controversial rapper clarified his previous statement about winning a Grammy for Ghana, explaining that he, being of Italian descent with a Ghanaian mother, intended to do it for his mom and not as a representation for the entire Ghanaian community.
