In a recent post, Amerado highlighted his achievements in 2024, emphasizing the impact of his contributions to the music scene over the year. He captioned the post, “Amerado in 2024, Artiste Of The Year conversation without Amerado under the 2024 year of review is an exposure of ignorance and consequently brutal to the industry and upcoming ones.”
This bold statement has sparked conversations across social media, with fans and industry players weighing in on his claim. Many agree that Amerado’s consistent releases, notable performances, and growing influence in the music industry make him a strong contender for the prestigious title.
