Delete Ridiculously oversaturated with coverage that can't be independently verified or considered reliable. It's very obvious that this is promotional content only. Megtetg34 (talk) 23:10, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Riteboke (talk) 08:12, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Article - As per significant coverage in multiple reliable sources including Pulse Ghana, ModernGhana, News Ghana, GhanaWeb and more.

It's quite hard to get coverage in these sources especially in African countries. These are well known newspapers and magazines in Ghana especially The Ghanaian Times, ModernGhana, Daily Graphic, News Ghana, Yen, GhanaWeb

He is the curator of a popular rap series in Ghana called Yeete Nsem, see here.

The entity's notability can clearly be seen from Google News results here.

Passes WP:GNG based on the sources. Although I understand some of the issues with possible press releases passing for news articles.

Passes criteria 8 of WP:MUSIC, nominee of Ghana's major music award ceremony Vodafone Ghana Music Awards and 3Music Awards. Co-nominated at All Africa Music Awards with Sarkodie Richloveburner (talk) 14:21, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Keep as passes criteria 8 of WP:NMUSIC (only one criteria needed) as nominated for Ghana's top music awards as confirmed in reliable newspaper sources so deletion is unnecessary in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 23:58, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
