The 22nd annual Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA), organized by Charterhouse Ghana and held together with the Ghanaian Musicians Union, celebrates outstanding achievements across the country’s music industry.
This year’s VGMAs will recognise music released in the period from 1 January to 31 December 2020.
Last month, the VGMA Board lifted a suspension for dancehall singers Shatta Wale and Stonebwoy following an onstage brawl during the 2019 edition.
The statement reads, “The board agreed on 12 February to admit them back, hoping that the altercations that previously ended the scheme do not happen again,” indicating their eligibility to compete in the current edition of VGMAs.
