Ghanaian rapper Obibini Boafo has described it as an insult that he has never won an award throughout his career.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Daybreak Hitz <\/em>with Doreen Avio and Kwame Dadzie, the rapper claimed there was a cabal in the music industry working against him.<\/p>\n

He noted that although he had been nominated twice at the Telecel Ghana Music Awards in the Best Rap Performance category, he lost on both occasions.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have had two nominations but I just feel like it is a way they just want to tap me on the back and go like \u2018we see you\u2019 but I mean it\u2019s quite an insult for someone like me to be around now and then no award has been awarded to me. Because this is Obibini we are talking about. I am the Shakespeare of this thing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Despite not having any awards to his name, Obibini is widely regarded by rap connoisseurs as one of the most talented rappers in Ghana and often mentioned in discussions about the country\u2019s finest lyricists.<\/p>\n

The former Zylofon Music signee has released songs such as The Statement, Let Me Know, Ahye Me featuring KiDi, The Dream, Balenciagas, Get A Life<\/em> and Yes Dada<\/em>.<\/p>\n

He recently released a new track titled Have You Ever.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
