Black Sherif crowned Artiste of the Year again at 2027 TGMAs
Black Sherif has been crowned Artiste of the Year again at the 27th Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA). The star-studded ceremony was held on Saturday, 9 May 2026, at a capacity-filled Grand Arena.
Black Sherif, age 24, reclaimed the industry's highest honour for the second time in his career after his initial triumph in 2023. He faced competition from Medikal, who won four awards. Black Sherif won five trophies, including Artiste of the Year, Album/EP of the Year (Iron Boy), Songwriter of the Year (Sacrifice), Best Hiphop Song (Where Dem Boys), and Best Afropop Song (Sacrifice). Other nominees included Medikal, Stonebwoy, Wendy Shay, Sarkodie and Diana Hamilton. The April 2025 release of his sophomore album, Iron Boy, was the definitive factor in his victory.
Taking the stage, Black Sherif dedicated the win to his hometown of Konongo and every young Ghanaian grinding in the trenches. His second Artiste of the Year win solidifies his position as the leading voice of Africa's Gen-Z music movement.
