We would like to officially inform the public, fans, and the organizers of the Kwacha Music Awards that Yo Maps has made the decision to withdraw his nomination from this year’s awards.
This decision does not come lightly. Yo Maps deeply appreciates the recognition and support that both the Kwacha Music Awards and his fans have always shown him. However, rather than participating as a nominee, he has decided to contribute in a much greater capacity—by offering his support as a sponsor of the awards, if granted the opportunity.
Yo Maps strongly believes that the growth of the Zambian music industry requires not only recognition of talent but also collective effort, investment, and the empowerment of upcoming artists. By stepping aside as a nominee and stepping forward as a sponsor, his goal is to help create an environment where more musicians can thrive, shine, and reach new levels of success.
This move demonstrates his long-standing commitment to the advancement of Zambian music and to ensuring that the industry continues to grow, not just for himself, but for the benefit of the entire creative community.
To his fans, Yo Maps extends his heartfelt gratitude for the unwavering love and support that has propelled his career to incredible heights. To the organizers of the Kwacha Music Awards, he offers his appreciation for their tireless efforts in celebrating Zambian artistry.
Together, we remain committed to building an industry that uplifts, empowers, and inspires. Let us continue to push Zambian music to greater heights.
