Medikal seeks healing at Ghana Entertainment Awards

The rapper has received five nominations ahead of the awards, which is yet to announce a date for its 2017 ceremony. Some of the categories for which the artist who left the VGMAs unhappy has been nominated include Best New Act, Best Male Act and Best Hiplife Act. 

His single 'Too Risky' featuring Sister Deborah is in the running for Best Song. Some of his co-nominees across categories are Ghanaian pop music giants including Sarkodie, VVIP and EL. In the non-Ghanaian categories, such popstars as Tiwa Savage, Wizkid and Yemi Alade receive nominations.
