The nominations of various artistes for the 3rd edition of 3Music Awards has gotten Ghanaians talking.

Leading the nomination for this year's edition is rapper Sarkodie. The 2019 Artiste of the Decade, has been nominated in 13 categories with his works including one from his just-released album 'Black Love'.

Coming in second was Shatta Wale and Stonebwoy while Medikal and Kwesi Arthur followed through with eight and seven nominations respectively.

Although the nominees' list, which was released on January 30, was applauded by many Ghanaians, some are also questioning the appearance and absence of some of 2019 biggest artistes and their works.

See some reactions below:

Getting a higher nomination is not the problem but winning all is the problem. No one can break that record #3MusicAwards20 #TopSpeed there's only one man who can do that and his name is shatta wale

Mati by Fameye was nominated as a dancehall song because of the riddim. Forget about the fact that he sang in twi. The riddim (Sexting riddim) was produced by Joni Blaze from Jamaica. #3MusicAwards20

But what's the difference between MUSIC MAN OF THE YEAR n MALE ARTIST OF THE YEAR?

Also Kofi Mole won an award last year so why have they nominated him in the BREAKTHROUGH category? Isn't that their version of NEW ARTIST OF THE YEAR?@KuamiEugene has to win big#3MusicAwards20 — STYLISH SHEVA🇬🇭 (@_sadatgh) January 31, 2020

As @angeltownbaby said in his recent interview at the #3MusicAwards20 , awards shouldn't be the focus but the if the award comes then is plus to your hard work.

Our focus is the work not necessarily the award BUT the award matters too. I love SarkCess music team. — Aluta Shaban SarkCess (@Aluta_Shaban) January 31, 2020

#3musicAwards20 should explain to us what goes in the nomination of "Digital Act of The Year". Some artistes shouldn't be there. What are the considerations? Joey B Sarkodie Strongman Medikal Wendy Shay Shatta Wale Stonebwoy

— 🇬🇭OpuroSinAprɔ➕ (@eagleyez_) January 31, 2020

#3musicAwards20 the songs used to nominate Sarkodie gives him 99% percent chances of winning. Not only are these songs popular, they are also street anthem. At least #WhoDaMan alone can beat any rap performance.

— 🇬🇭OpuroSinAprɔ➕ (@eagleyez_) January 31, 2020

So #3musicawards20 didnt nominate Emilia Brobbery for us?😪
