In a triumphant turn of events, Shatta Wale, one of Ghana’s most influential and controversial music icons, emerged as the winner of the Artist of the Year at Ghana’s Music Award UK.
Shata Wale is recently facing a dry spell in his career after being banned from the Ghana Vodafone Music Awards for several years.
The artist had been banned from the prestigious Ghana Vodafone Music Awards due to his involvement in a highly publicized altercation with fellow artist Stonebwoy during the 2019 edition of the event.
This ban left Shatta Wale without the opportunity to compete in one of the most prestigious music awards in Ghana for some years, leaving fans and industry insiders wondering when he would make a triumphant return to the stage.
However, at Ghana’s Music Award UK, Shatta Wale’s waves in Ghana’s music industry could no longer be ignored as he scooped not one but two major awards, which include the Artist of the Year and Best Dancehall Artist.
The nominees, for the Artist of the Year category included Black Sherif, Piesie Esther, Stonebwoy, Sarkodie, and King Promise.
In addition, Shatta Wale won the Reggae/Dancehall award with his popular song “On God,” beating out others like Epixode and Stonebwoy who were strong competitors.
Winning the awards at Ghana’s Music Award UK is not just a personal victory for Shatta Wale, but it is also a victory for his dedicated fan base.
They have stood by him through thick and thin, and this recognition at the international awards ceremony shows how his fanbase has been supportive of him despite his ban from Ghana’s Vodafone Music.
As Shatta Wale takes his place as the Artist of the Year and Best Dancehall Artist, it is clear that he is back and ready to reclaim his throne as the “Dancehall King” of Ghana and beyond.
