TGMA 2026: Artist and New Artist Nominees
The energy for the 2026 Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA) is definitely hitting a fever pitch! With the nominations out, the stage is set for a massive night.
The Heavyweights: Artiste of the Year
Medikal is indeed a top contender for the flagship Artiste of the Year category. He’s coming off a powerhouse year—especially with the buzz around Welcome to Africa and Disturbation 2—and he has already publicly stated that he feels he outperformed everyone in the lead-up. However, the competition is fierce; he’s going up against:
- Stonebwoy
- Black Sherif
- Sarkodie
- King Promise
- Wendy Shay
The Breakthrough: Best New Artiste
You nailed it on Lalid. They have officially secured a nomination for Best New Artiste of the Year following the success of hits like “Matter.” It’s one of the most exciting categories this year, as Lalid faces off against other rising stars like:
- Kojo Blak
- Gona Boy
- Adom Kiki
- AratheJay
Current Status:
As of now, we are in the voting phase. The main event usually takes place in May, so it’s time for the fanbases to mobilize. If Medikal and Lalid sweep, it would be a massive statement for the “Planning and Plotting” movement.
Who do you think has the strongest “Most Popular Song” to back up their Artist of the Year claim?
