Initially nominated for Best Highlife Song (remix version), the board noted the great popularity of the original song.
As a result, ‘Kwaku Ananse’ is now a competitor in both the Best Highlife Song and Most Popular Song of the Year categories.
Another prominent revision included the song ‘Lonely Road’ by O’Kenneth & Xlim Kid. Initially submitted as a featured work, it’s now regarded as a collaborative effort by both artistes.
