Speaking during an interview with Spark TV, Ghetto Kids appreciated the nomination, but blamed top Ugandan artists who have huge followership for not promoting them on their socials.

"We never won because we didn't have the support from the entertainment industry. In other countries big figures support their own but here, very few people posted us yet the voting was mostly done on Twitter. We would be in the news if we brought the award home as a country. Most of the awards went to Nigeria because they support each other," Manager Kawuma said.
