Ghanaian Music Awards Scandal: Was the Artist of the Year Award Rigged?
Ghanaian Music Awards Controversy: Was the Artist of the Year Award Stolen? The 2025 TGMA awards ceremony concluded with Stonebwoy being declared the Artist of the Year. However, this announcement has been met with controversy. Music commentator Wizla Finito claims that the award was instead intended for Stonebwoy, but was given to King Promise due to the influence of Shatta Wale and others involved in the awards. "Stonebwoy won this year's Artist of the Year, but TGMA & Shatta Wale stole it for King Promise," Finito stated, expressing his discontent with the outcome. The video sparked a debate among music fans and industry professionals, questioning the fairness and transparency of the awards process. While the TGMA organizers have yet to respond to the allegations, the controversy highlights the ongoing debate about the integrity of award shows and the power dynamics within the Ghanaian music scene. The incident underscores the need for greater transparency and accountability in the selection process of such awards to maintain the credibility of the industry.
