The Accra Sports Stadium was venue for this year’s Bass Awards and trust me, there was moments of brilliance.
The crowd kept booing Blakk Rasta for reasons known to the patrons alone but he was man enough to drown their noise by picking up Best Album of The Year and Best Collaboration.
Selly Galley of Big Brother Africa fame lost her cool for the show’s late start and took to twitter to fire “Okay 00:23 am and still not a single award. More of a show than an awards night I must say! #Bassawards”.
Rashid Metal, Rudebwoy Rankin and Episode were sensational. AK Songstress requested for a bully to perform and she got exactly what she bargained for.
Ras Kuku won four awards – Shatta Wale won three.
