Ghanaian music producer Roland Banful, better known as GuiltyBeatz, has achieved a major milestone by winning his second Grammy Award.
His work on Nigerian singer Tems’ hit song “Love Me Jeje” earned the prestigious recognition for ‘Best African Music Performance’ at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on February 2, 2025.
GuiltyBeatz shared a moment of joy with Tems as they took the stage together to accept the award, marking a proud moment in his illustrious career. After the ceremony, he expressed his gratitude on social media, posting a video of the award moment with the caption, “All Glory to God.”
This win not only solidifies GuiltyBeatz’s place in the international music scene but also highlights Ghana’s rising influence in the global music industry. The producer’s extensive contributions to African and global music have been widely recognized, including his multiple nominations at this year’s Grammys.
GuiltyBeatz was nominated across several categories, including ‘Best Global Music Album’ for Tems’ “Born in the Wild,” ‘Best African Music Performance’ for “Love Me Jeje,” and ‘Best R&B Song’ for “Burning,” a collaboration with Tems. He was also nominated for ‘Best Progressive R&B Album’ for Kehlani’s “Crash.”
In 2023, GuiltyBeatz earned a nomination for ‘Album of the Year’ for his work on Beyoncé’s “Renaissance” album, which won four Grammys at the 65th Annual Awards. His Grammy journey began earlier, with his contributions to Beyoncé’s “Lion King: The Gift” album in 2019, where he produced three tracks, including “Already” featuring Shatta Wale and “Find Your Way Back (Circle of Life).”
Known for his chart-topping hits like “Akwaaba” with Mr. Eazi, Pappy Kojo, and Patapaa, as well as “Bad Girl” by Jesse Jagz featuring Wizkid, GuiltyBeatz has firmly established himself as one of Ghana’s top record producers.
Grammys and the Role of Producers
Under the Grammy rules, the ‘Album of the Year’ award is shared among the artist, producers, and engineers who contributed to more than 50% of the album’s content. Those contributing to less than 50% are eligible for a Winners Certificate.
This policy underscores the significant role producers like GuiltyBeatz play in shaping award-winning projects, contributing to the collaborative nature of music at the highest level.
GuiltyBeatz’s second Grammy win is not only a personal triumph but also a testament to the growing global recognition of Ghanaian talent in the music industry.
Ghanaian dancehall artist Charles Nii Armah Mensah, popularly known as Shatta Wale, has shared his excitement after being endorsed by Jamaican music icon Vybz Kartel. During his Freedom Concert,Vybz Kartel referred to Shatta Wale as the “King of Dancehall.”
Speaking to the media on January 8, 2024, after returning to Ghana, Shatta Wale compared the endorsement to winning a Grammy Award. He also mentioned that performing alongside Vybz Kartel has always been a lifelong dream.
“It has been beautiful, and it’s like a dream come true for Shatta Movement fans because everyone knew me from day one,” Shatta Wale said. “For me to reach the level of Vybz Kartel and perform with him is such a good feeling,” he stated.
He continued, “For Vybz Kartel to endorse somebody like Shatta Wale is like winning a Grammy because he is a global icon, everyone loves him, and he is one of the greatest.”
Shatta Wale also explained his choice to perform three specific songs during his stage performance in Jamaica.
“My team checked the streaming algorithms, and because we were in Jamaica, people were tuning into songs like ‘On God’ and the one I did with Vybz Kartel. That’s why I performed those tracks to open up the market,” he said. “I know some people were wondering why I didn’t perform ‘Dancehall King’, but that song is for Ghanaians only,” he added.
Background
On December 31, 2024, Shatta Wale achieved a major milestone by performing at Vybz Kartel’s ‘Freedom Concert’ in Kingston, Jamaica.
The event was especially significant as it markedVybz Kartel’sfirst live performance in over 14 years after his release from prison.
While Shatta Wale was on stage, Vybz Kartel honored him by calling him the “King of Dancehall in Africa.”
Acclaimed Ghanaian reggae and Afro-Roots musician, Rocky Dawuni, has achieved a historic milestone with his fourth Grammy nomination, making him the most recognized Ghanaian artist in Grammy history.
His track “Rise” has been nominated for Best Global Music Performance at the 2025 Grammy Awards.
This latest recognition marks Dawuni’s fourth Grammy nomination.
His Grammy journey began in 2015 when his album Branches of the Same Tree earned a nomination for Best Reggae Album.
In 2021, he received a second nomination for Voice of Bunbon Vol. 1 in the Best Global Music Album category.
In 2023, his song “Never Bow Down” also contended in the Best Global Music Performance category.

Ghana, however, did not secure a spot in the highly sought-after Best African Music Performance category, which includes nominations for Asake & Wizkid’s “MMS,” Burna Boy’s “Higher,” Chris Brown featuring Davido & Lojay’s “Sensational,” Tems’ “Love Me JeJe,” and Yemi Alade’s “Tomorrow.”
The category has no Ghanaian representation this year.
The 2025 Grammy Awards ceremony is set for February 2, 2024, at Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena in the U.S.A..
Grammy Award-winning artist Burna Boy has made history as the first African artist to achieve two billion streams in the United Kingdom. This milestone was celebrated during his sold-out show at Koko Camden in London, where he received a Brit Plaque in recognition of this remarkable feat.
This achievement follows closely on the heels of another significant milestone: Burna Boy received a Brit Plaque for surpassing one billion streams during his sold-out London Stadium concert in June.
In a viral video capturing the moment he received the two billion streams plaque, Burna Boy expressed his gratitude, stating, “I fought for it. Thank you very much. I appreciate you. Then, now that’s it. You’ve to fight for your right.” One of the presenters noted, “You already have it. You don’t need to fight,” to which Burna Boy replied, “No. You know, we have to fight for our rights.”
Known as the ‘African Giant,’ Burna Boy continues to make headlines with his electrifying performances across Europe. In the first half of the year alone, he has sold out major venues in the UK, solidifying his status as a global “Afrobeat Ambassador.”
Ghanaian musician Sista Afia has revealed that a dream of receiving a prestigious Grammy award serves as her enduring motivation to strive for excellence.
Despite facing moments of disillusionment when her efforts seem underappreciated, she draws strength from this vision that propels her forward.
“In one of my dreams, I found myself accepting a Grammy award. That image has served as a powerful inspiration for me throughout my journey,” she shared in an interview with Starr FM.
“Even during moments of doubt or frustration, I return to that dream and find renewed determination to persevere. I firmly believe that through dedication and hard work, dreams can manifest into reality,” she added.
Recently, Sista Afia has voiced her frustration regarding what she perceives as a lack of recognition for her contributions by Charter House.
However, she finds solace in prayer and fasting during times of adversity, maintaining hope that her relentless efforts will eventually be acknowledged not only within Ghana but also on the global stage.
In a candid interview with The Cut, Temilade Openiyi, known professionally as Tems, a Nigerian singer, songwriter, and record producer disclosed the torment she endured as a child due to criticism about the pitch of her voice.
Tems, who has previously opened up about her early days of solitude, revealed that she refrained from speaking until the age of three.
The Grammy award recipient shared that growing up, she grappled with self-consciousness, feeling out of place as her voice diverged from the conventional expectations for girls.
Recounting the painful memories, she expressed, “I was bullied to the point of tears and was a target of ridicule. This led to the belief that I sounded like a boy, or a frog, with the impression that my voice was ugly.”
Tems further elaborated on the isolating experience, describing how her unique vocal tone made her a subject of mockery.
“I was always in my own little world. When I did make friends, I would try to make them sing my songs, and other girls had these sweet, high voices, and my voice had a bass.”
This revelation sheds light on the emotional struggles the artist faced during her formative years.
It adds another layer to her narrative, where she previously shared that her early inclination towards music was influenced by a lack of companionship.
Tems’ story serves as a testament to her resilience and determination in overcoming societal expectations to become the celebrated artist she is today.
Tems rose to prominence after being featured on Wizkid’s 2020 single “Essence”, which peaked at number 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart following the release of the remix version with Justin Bieber.
Gospel musician Nana Yaw Boakye, popularly known as MOGmusic, has excited his fans with the news that his album “Koinonia Phase II” is being considered for a Grammy Award.
It’s important to note that Grammy consideration does not guarantee an automatic nomination but is a significant step in the process.
MOGmusic is eagerly anticipating a possible nomination in multiple categories, including Best Gospel Album, Album of the Year, and Best New Artist, with his recent album “Koinonia Phase II.”
In addition to this exciting news, MOGmusic has made history as the first Ghanaian gospel artist to be admitted into the Recording Academy of the Grammy Awards.
In a post on social media, MOGmusic expressed his gratitude to the Recording Academy, saying, “I want to express my gratitude to @RecordingAcad for this consideration. Ghana to the world, Africa to the world, The Gospel to the world.”
If MOGmusic were to win a Grammy, it would be a historic moment for Ghanaian music and would significantly raise the profile of Ghanaian artists on the global stage.
Mark Kwesi Arthur, the talented Amapiano artist popularly known as DJ Azonto, has expressed his unwavering determination to elevate Ghanaian music to global recognition. With a strong focus on his goal, DJ Azonto is driven to not only put Ghana on the map but also strive for the ultimate achievement of winning a Grammy award.
The “Fa No Fom” hitmaker has been red-hot in the music industry over the past few years and was nominated for the Best New Artiste of the Year at the recently held Vodafone Ghana Music Awards.
According to DJ Azonto, who made all the headlines after his controversial outfit on the VGMA red carpet, he was poised to reach the Grammys as he had what it takes to bag an international award.
DJ Azonto asserted that even though he is new to the music business, his upcoming project would rock Ghanaian music circles and beyond as he eyes numerous international awards.
“You see, I might be new in the music industry, but with the work I am putting in, I am confident I can win a Grammy award in the near future,” he said in an interview.
He was recently nominated for Best New Artiste at this year’s Ghana Music Awards USA and Discovery of the Year at the Ghana Entertainment Awards USA.
DJ Azonto has been churning out bangers over the past few months, dropping hits including Fa No Fom,” “Enfa Bi Da,” “Kaba Ne Skirt,” “Add Wale,” “Ampe,” “Wagaashi,” and “One Prayer” ft. Lil Win, among others.
Stonebwoy has revealed that while winning a Grammy Award is a dream of his, he is not obsessed with it.
He emphasized that consistently producing his best work is his true obsession in an interview with Amansan Krakye. The Grammy Awards are a big stage for Stonebwoy, but his main goal is to win over people’s hearts with his extraordinary talent.
“Obsession is a big no I mean I’m not obsessed with winning the Grammys or any other awards for that matter but my obsession will rather be that I always want to continue to deliver my best,” he told Amansan Krakye.
He expressed his desire to push Ghanaian music forward, expressing his unique abilities, and gracing the biggest stages imaginable to share his musical message with the world.
“That I’ll be able to push Ghana music forward and I’ll be able to express my talent and to be able to win the heart of people and be on all the biggest stages I can ever imagine delivering a musical message to the world.
“It will continue to propel my sound and my dreams to the world and I’ll be able to continue to do that but to say the Grammys is above that dream is not realistic,” he added.
These aspirations fuel his drive, and he believes that achieving his core dream is of utmost importance. While acknowledging the Grammy Awards’ potential to elevate his sound and dreams to a global audience, Stonebwoy remains grounded and realistic, stating that considering the Grammys as a priority above his core dream would be impractical.
During an appearance on Cape Coast-based Property FM, he explained that winning a Grammy would further propel his music and aspirations, allowing him to continue making an impact. However, he maintains that his dream of touching people’s hearts and leaving a lasting impression through his music takes precedence over any specific award.
A small number of fans waited at the Oliver Tambo airport in Johannesburg to greet Grammy award winners Zakes Bantwini, Wouter Kellerman and songstress Nomcebo Zikode who returned home on Friday.
The trio’s collaboration song ‘Bayethe’ won the best global music performance at the Grammy Awards held Sunday in Los Angeles.
“It is an incredible honour and privilege to be received like this by our own people,” said Nomcebo Zikode.
‘Bayethe’, which means ‘hail’ in the local Zulu language, combines traditional African beats, Zulu lyrics and the flute.
The victory provided a brief distraction for South Africans who are otherwise facing record power cuts, high unemployment and rampant crime.
South Africa’s arts and culture ministry applauded the group in a statement, saying the country was “proud of the great work” they produced “without compromising national identity”.
A continental powerhouse in the music arena, South Africa already boasted numerous Grammy winners, including famous male acapella groups Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Soweto Gospel Choir, and singer Miriam Makeba.
The actress, 57, won a Grammy award for her autobiography Finding Me in the best spoken word category, which was presented at the awards’ premiere ceremony ahead of the main event.
This means she’s joined only 17 other people in the world to have EGOT status, having won an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar, and a Tony.
The major honour has been dubbed the ‘grand slam’ of showbusiness, with stars including John Legend, Audrey Hepburn, and Jennifer Hudson also in the prestigious club.
Viola now has plenty of gongs on her mantlepiece, having previously won four primetime Emmys for leading actress, in 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2019.
She won best supporting actress at the Oscars in 2017, for her role in Fences, and has been nominated four times.
Oh, and she also has three Tony awards. What a queen.
Tems, a singer from Nigeria, became the nation’s first female artist to receive aGrammy Award on Sunday.
Burna Boy, a fellow countryman, was unsuccessful in the two categories in which he was nominated.

Black Sherif’s back to back production of hit songs has attracted the attention of award-winning Ghanaian afrobeat artiste Danny Lampo
The “Ebony” crooner has tipped the 20-year-old rapper to win a Grammy Award for Ghana in the future, should he keep up with his hard work.
Black Sherif has been admonished to remain humble and focused
Danny Lampo, like many Music lovers, has rated Blacko as the next big thing in the Ghanaian music scene. His first album “The villain I Never Was” was released somewhere last year and has been topping charts locally and internationally.
In a post, Danny Lampo congratulated him for being able to penetrate the Nigerian music market.
Being able to cross the border of Ghana and enter into the Nigerian music market is not a joke, I’ve been in the music scene for a while now, and I know how hard it is to be accepted in the Nigerian music market.
“I am very proud of you, Your music has been playing around the world. Remain humble and focused, come up with more quality music and stay clean. Hopefully, you can win the Grammy not just for Ghana but for Africa. Lampo wrote.
The “villain I Never Was” has received tons of airplay, becoming one of the most streamed song in the world
Danny Lampo is an Italian-born UK-based Ghanaian afrobeat artiste, he was born in Palermo, Italy on 2nd September 1993, Daniel Amponsah known is showbiz as Danny Lampo is one of the few artistes from Ghana who had a great year from 2020 as he was on almost all the big shows in the UK with some big stars including Grammy award-winning artistes Anthony Hamilton and Tiana Kocher.
Danny Lampo also made some point as to why Nigerian music is going international, It is a cultural characteristic of all human communities that is universal. Pitch, rhythm, dynamics, and the acoustic aspects of timbre and texture are all included in general definitions of music.
Some of these aspects may be emphasized, de-emphasized, or omitted depending on the style or type of music.
There are instrumental pieces, vocal pieces, and pieces that mix singing and instruments; music is performed with a wide range of instruments and vocal approaches ranging from singing to rapping; there are instrumental pieces, vocal pieces, and works that combine singing and instruments.
One of the key ways to sell and promote culture apart from festivals is through music. Since the beginning of time, every single country has been promoting and selling its cultures and making its identity known through music and so far, some countries have done marvellously well at that by indigenously organizing sounds using elements from their cultures.
One of the countries in Africa that have been breaking global boundaries by simply putting together elements of their very own culture, vibes, and language in their songs is Nigeria.
With the emergence of stars like Burna Boy, Wizkid, Davido, Don Jazzy, P-Square, Iyanya, Rema and the rest, the country is well known globally for its Afro beat/Afro fusion genre.
As a musician, one of the main reasons why Nigerians seem to be doing so well with music internationally is the fact that they maintain the originality and cultural vibes in almost every song to be released by a Nigerian artist.
Ghana, on the other hand, has been doing marvelously well with most artists attaining global stands but to Rob shoulders with Nigerians when it comes to music.
Some top-tier stars from Ghana making recognized are Sarkodie, Stonebwoy, and Shatta Wale but these folks still lack the basics Nigerians have adopted in achieving global stands and I think Black Sherif has shown and proven to be one of the best to get to that level the Nigerians are. Just some few years of breaking through to mainstream and his everywhere. He even managed to penetrate the Nigerian music market with his songs. That alone says it all.
Ever listened to Burna Boy’s Grammy award-winning album “Twice As Tall”? Every single song on the album contains substances from the Nigerian culture, especially their language. Not only has the album gained recognition but has made the originality of the Nigerian culture known to the world.
Sarkodie’s seventh studio Album, “No Pressure”. According to him, the album is purely Hip-hop, thus not everyone will enjoy the songs.
The point here is, adopting the Hip-hop culture knowing perfectly well your country-men won’t enjoy was a wrong move because if your fan base in the country is unable to push to appreciate the craft, there is absolutely no way an outsider will appreciate it.
Black Sherif also released an album “The Villain I Never Was” When listening to the song you can feel the authenticity in the song and how relatable it is for everyone who hears it.
The debate whether the Nigerian music industry is better than the Ghanaian music industry has been an indecisive one; however, Ghanaians have a lot to learn from Nigerians in terms of entertainment and promotional tactics.
Danny Lampo is currently promoting his new single “Baba” and touring some parts of Europe as well.
Other contending nominees in the category include Arooj Aftab and Anoushka Shankar, Matt B and Eddy Kenzo, Burna Boy, Wouter Kellerman, Zakes Bantwini and Nomcebo Zikod
Rocky Dawuni announcing his nomination on his official social media handles appreciated his recognition.
“I am truly honoured to be nominated for another #Grammy award for my song “Never Bow Down” feat. @blvkh3ro,” he said.
He also acknowledged how huge the honour was, with “Africa and the Caribbean coming together on this global roots anthem.”
He added “Thank you to everyone who was part of this project, and congrats to my fellow nominees. This is a song of the times to inspire all of us to #nevabowdown. Ghana to the world! Africa to the universe.”
Rocky Dawuni in 2015 became the first Ghanaian to be nominated for a Grammy award. His sixth studio album, ‘Branches of The Same Tree’ qualified him for the Best Reggae Album category.
This was followed by another nomination last year with his ‘Voice of Bunbon Vol. 1’ album, also in the Best Global Music Album category.

At the 2021 Grammys, Beyoncé picked up four awards, bringing her total to 28 and making her the winningest woman in Grammy history.
At the 2023 ceremony, she will have nine chances to add to her total: The 41-year-old star is the top nominee for the 65th annual Grammy Awards, with all but one of her nods coming for her dance-heavy album “Renaissance.”
She leads a pack that includes Kendrick Lamar, with eight nominations; Adele and Brandi Carlile, with seven apiece; and Harry Styles, Mary J. Blige, Future, DJ Khaled and the producer and songwriter The-Dream, with six each, the Recording Academy announced on Tuesday.
The awards will be held on Feb. 5 at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles (the former Staples Center) in what the academy is hoping will be its return to something like normal operating procedure after two years of delays and complications caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Beyoncé’s nominations are in each of the three big all-genre categories — album of the year, plus record and song of the year for her single “Break My Soul” — as well as in the dance/electronic field and in R&B, where her tracks “Virgo’s Groove” (R&B performance), “Plastic Off the Sofa” (traditional R&B performance) and “Cuff It” (R&B song) were all recognized. She is also up for best song written for visual media for “Be Alive,” from the film “King Richard.”
Those bring Beyoncé to a career total of 88 nominations — tying Jay-Z, her husband, for the most received by any artist in the history of the awards. (Jay-Z, who had held the record with 83 nods, got five more this year, for contributions to “Renaissance” and DJ Khaled’s “God Did.”)
If Beyoncé takes three awards in February, she will match the classical conductor Georg Solti for the most Grammy wins by any artist. (She is already tied for second place in that race, with Quincy Jones.)
Despite the shower of nominations Beyoncé has received over the years, going back to her time in Destiny’s Child two decades ago, she has won only once in any of the four most prestigious categories: as a credited songwriter of “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It),” which took song of the year in 2010. Every other victory has been in down-ballot genre fields.
In what is sure to be one of the night’s major story lines, Beyoncé will once again face Adele in multiple contests, including album of the year (“Renaissance” vs. Adele’s “30”) and both record and song of the year (“Break My Soul” vs. “Easy on Me”).
The two women, both titans of contemporary pop with ardent fan bases, last squared off at the 2017 Grammys. That year, Adele’s “25” beat Beyoncé’s “Lemonade” in a closely watched contest for album of the year that fed into longtime complaints that the awards often fail to recognize Black musicians in the most prominent categories. Accepting the award, a tearful Adele said, “I’m very grateful and gracious, but my artist of my life is Beyoncé.”
This year’s other nominees for album of the year include Lamar, for “Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers,” his return after five years; Styles’s “Harry’s House”; Lizzo’s “Special”; Carlile’s “In These Silent Days”; Mary J. Blige’s “Good Morning Gorgeous” (in its “deluxe” edition); Coldplay’s “Music of the Spheres”; Abba’s “Voyage,” the Swedish foursome’s first new album in 40 years; and Bad Bunny’s “Un Verano Sin Ti.”
“Un Verano,” a streaming blockbuster and the year’s best-selling album so far, is the first release performed entirely in Spanish to be up for album of the year. Bad Bunny, the Puerto Rican star, is the top nominee at the Latin Grammys on Thursday, with 10.
For record of the year, which goes to the artists, producers and engineers behind a single track, “Break My Soul” and “Easy on Me” will compete against Styles’s “As It Was”; Lizzo’s “About Damn Time”; Doja Cat’s “Woman”; Lamar’s “The Heart Part 5”; Carlile’s “You and Me on the Rock,” featuring Lucius; Abba’s “Don’t Shut Me Down”; Blige’s “Good Morning Gorgeous; and “Bad Habit,” the breakout hit by the 24-year-old singer and guitarist Steve Lacy, who built his reputation as an innovator on the fringes of alternative R&B.
“Break My Soul,” “Easy on Me,” “As It Was,” “About Damn Time,” “Bad Habit” and “The Heart Part 5” are also up for song of the year, a songwriters’ award, along with Gayle’s “Abcdefu”; Bonnie Raitt’s “Just Like That”; DJ Khaled’s “God Did”; and Taylor Swift’s “All Too Well (10 Minute Version),” an expansion of a track that originally appeared on Swift’s 2012 album “Red,” which she rereleased as a fresh recording last years.
Fans of slain rapper Takeoff, a member of the hip-hop trio Migos who was shot and killed a week ago, will gather on Friday to honour his life and musical contributions.
Takeoff, born Kirsnick Khari Ball, was killed in a shooting outside a Houston bowling alley on November 1. During the shooting, a woman and another man were also injured. There have been no arrests.
According to a news release from Quality Control Music and Motown Records, a celebration will take place at noon Friday in Atlanta’s State Farm Arena. Georgia residents will be able to get free tickets through Ticketmaster.
“Takeoff was one of the most influential names in modern music whose creativity left a profound impact on music and culture as we know it today,” read the release
Instead of flowers or gifts, the family is asking that people make donations to The Rocket Foundation, which aims to support programs using community-based solutions to stop gun violence, according to its website. The website says the foundation was established in honor of Takeoff.
The 28-year-old Takeoff formed one-third of the Grammy Award-nominated trio Migos along with his uncle Quavo and cousin Offset from suburban Atlanta. Migos broke out nearly a decade ago with the 2013 hit “Versace,” which hit even greater heights in popularity though a Drake remix.
Takeoff was the youngest of the Migos trio and often considered to be its most laidback member. Despite being more reserved, he did a lot of his talking through his rhymes. He had hoped to gain more respect for his lyrical ability through “Only Built for Infinity Links,” an album he released with Quavo just last month.
