2016 VGMAs: Shatta Wale and Samini Snub, what about Dawuni?

This particular category looks dry, deserted, witted and calling for some decorations. Apparently, the Grammy nominee, Rocky DAWUNI, didnt make enough impact in his home country.

Reggae/Dancehall Song Of The Year
1. Blakk Rasta – Serwaa Akoto
2. De Voice – It’s So Crazy
3. MzVee – Hold Me Now
4. Stonebwoy – Go Higher
5. AK Songstress – Holiday
6. Jupitar – Fire feat. Sarkodie

Rocky Dawuni, earning a Reggae nod at the Grammys did not match up in his country. Samini, his, protegee, to an extent, was not even nominated.

Dear VGMA Board, could you not consider even a Grammy Nominee at the least? He is bigger than anything yall imagined for Christ sake. At the least his protegee should have had the nod for his work on Breaking News.
