Full list of winners at the 27th Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA 27).
The Grand Arena in Accra was transformed into a bastion of musical excellence on Saturday, 9 May 2026, as the 27th Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA) celebrated the finest talents in the industry.
In a repeat of his 2023 success, Black Sherif was crowned the Artiste of the Year, capping off a phenomenal night where he scooped a total of five awards. The ‘Iron Boy’ star proved his dominance was no fluke, winning the night’s most prestigious honours on the back of a record-breaking year on international streaming platforms.
The evening was largely a duel between Black Sherif and Medikal. The AMG rapper secured four major trophies, notably reclaiming his crown as the Best Hiplife/Hip-Hop Artiste and winning Best Collaboration for the viral hit ‘Shoulder’.
Other multi-award winners included the ‘Highlife Confession’ hitmaker Kofi Kinaata, who took home two awards; and Moliy, whose international exploits with the ‘Shake It To The Max’ remix earned her two trophies, including International Collaboration of the Year.
