Ghanaian Amapiano king, Ice Boss, formally known as DJ Azonto, has broken his silence after fans noticed his absence on the red carpet at this year’s Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA).
Many have since labelled the red carpet dull and uninspired, and DJ Azonto believes he understands exactly why.
According to the “Fa No Fom” hitmaker, his maiden presence on the red carpet has introduced a new dimension of boldness and creativity that others are yet to match.
“Fashion isn’t always supposed to make sense to everyone,” he said in an exclusive interview with Amansan. “It’s a symbol, a statement, and if you understand what you’re wearing and what it represents, that’s enough.”
DJ Azonto, known for his fearless and unconventional style, including controversial outfits that push the boundaries of Ghanaian red carpet culture, further explained that his absence wasn’t intentional.
“I have been away from Ghana for a while, so I missed the opportunity,” he said. “But I totally get why people are saying the red carpet was boring. No one took risks for Charterhouse they all feel classy.”
When asked why this year’s event failed to trend online like his previous red carpet appearances, DJ Azonto didn’t mince words. “It’s simple. Most of these musicians don’t understand the red carpet. People in other countries wear meat, balloons, or walk barefoot to make a statement. But here, people play it safe. Apart from Shatta Wale, I am the only musician who can make the BET or TGMA trend globally through red carpet presence. No one else has that heart to go beyond thenorm,m and it hurts to watch Red Carpet thatboring.
Whether loved or criticised, DJ Azonto’s influence on Ghana’s red carpet culture is undeniable.
It is rumoured DJ Azonto is set to release another banger titled “ Wopi P3 Asa onHiss Mother’s Birthday, 14th August 2025.
