Teephlow’s nomination in the categories; Best Rapper of the Year, Hip Hop song of the Year and Best New Artiste have all been revoked after it emerged that his song-The Warning, which earned him these nominations was released in April, 2014, instead of 2015—the year under review.

* The Nominee’s jam is going to Ho in the Volta region.

* There would be no industry awards night so all awards will be presented at main event.
