TGMA: Ghana's real entertainment crisis is the death of stardom
Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA) causes outrage every year after the ceremony. Social media turns into a courtroom, with one side insisting the event was embarrassing due to poor stage design, awkward transitions, uninspired lighting, weak camera work, bad red carpet interviews, and MCs struggling. The other side accuses critics of excessive negativity and unfair comparisons to Nigeria.
This year, the comparison is between the TGMAs and the African Magic Viewers' Choice Awards (AMVCA) in Nigeria, which were held on the same day and weekend. Ghanaians pointed to the polish of the AMVCAs. Many people are complaining that the fashion felt uninspired and lacked the wow-factor associated with major African award shows. In Ghana, many celebrities have no option but to approach major events casually because the industry has not fully commercialised celebrity culture. Joselyn Dumas rose to fame in the late 2000s.

Ghana's entertainment scene may be facing a deeper issue than stage design, hinting at a structural problem that affects the entire industry.
