The 26th edition of the Telecel Ghana Music Awards lit up the Grand Arena of the Accra International Conference Centre on the night of May 10, delivering glitz, glamour, and unforgettable moments.
One of the night’s biggest highlights was King Promise finally clinching the coveted Artiste of the Year award—an honour that narrowly eluded him in 2023 when Stonebwoy took home the top prize.
The ceremony celebrated the best in Ghanaian music, with artistes, producers, and industry players gathering under one roof to honour excellence.
Below is the full list of winners from the unforgettable night.
