A public endorsement from one top artist to another has created a buzz ahead of this year’s biggest music event.
Ghanaian dancehall heavyweight Shatta Wale has publicly endorsed fellow musician King Promise as his pick for the 2025 Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA) Artist of the Year.
In a video shared online, the two artists are seen cruising in a Rolls Royce Cullinan, with Shatta Wale confidently expressing his support for the “Favorite Story” singer.
Shatta Wale declared, as the camera focused on them: “That’s my artist of the year.”
Having narrowly missed the top prize at last year’s event, King Promise has intensified efforts to clinch the coveted Artist of the Year title this year. The “Terminator” hitmaker recently appointed media personality Tilly Akua Nipaa as the official spokesperson for his campaign.

Nipaa has since been active in the media space, debating representatives of other artists and strongly advocating for King Promise’s win.
