Tinny (Nii Addo Quaynor) aka Aletse Kankpe was nominated for Nigeria's Hip Hop World Awards.

A couple of weeks ago, http://www.pinnaclegh.com reported that Tinny had made Ghana proud at the Hip Hop World Awards held at the International Conference Centre in Abuja on the May 16. Tinny was nominated along with Witness Mwaijaga (Tanzania), Buffalo Solja (Zimbabwe) and another called Dogg. After the Ceremony the official website of the Hip Hop World Awards reported that the African Artiste of the year award went to Ghana's Tinny.

Our investigations have revealed that the category was not mentioned at the ceremony neither had Tinny received his award yet. When various media was reporting that the Ghanaian had won the award there was raging disagreement between Dogg and the organisers. Dogg was also reported in other media as having won the same award. It is only after a whole month that the award organisers have come clean as to who really won the award.
