On Saturday, May 9, 2026, the 27th Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA), which honoured the best in the business, turned Accra’s Grand Arena into a stronghold of musical brilliance.
Black Sherif won Artiste of the Year in a repeat of his 2023 triumph, capping an incredible evening in which he took home five honours.
After a record-breaking year on international streaming platforms, the “Iron Boy” star demonstrated that his dominance was not an anomaly by taking home the most prestigious awards of the evening.
Black Sherif and Medikal engaged in a duel for most of the evening.
The AMG rapper won four major awards, including Best Collaboration for the viral hit “Shoulder” and reclaiming his title as Best Hiplife/Hip-Hop Artiste. Other multi-award winners included Moliy, who won two trophies, including International Collaboration of the Year, for her international exploits with the “Shake It To The Max” remix, and Kofi Kinaata, the hitmaker of “Highlife Confession,” who won two.
