During his speaking on The Chat on Channel One TV, he gave his reasons why he believes King Promise deserves the award amongst the seven nominees.

According to Tenneson, while the race is beyond doubtful rivalry, King Promise and Stonebwoy still remains favourites for the Artiste of the Year Awards. They have worked hard and they have  impressed a lot.

Tenneson gave further details that, King Paluta is the next favourite artiste to win the award according to popularity,after King Promise and Stonebwoy. The analysis he made, lifted Team Eternity and Kweku Smoke ahead of King Paluta because he believed they influenced and were successful during the year under review.
