8th Afrima Full List Of Winners

Davido, Burna Boy, Wizkid, Marwan Moussa, and more won big at the 8th AFRIMA Awards.

 

The All Africa Music Awards (AFRIMA)recently descended onto Dakar, Senegal for their eighth edition, ‘The Teganga Edition.’

The awards, which were held at the Dakar Arena, saw the likes of Nigerian superstaDavido take home three trophies in one night as he won the Best African Collaboration, Best Duo or Group in African Electro, and Best Male Artiste in African Inspirational Music categories.

Egyptian rapper Marwan Moussa followed closely, nabbing two wins for Best African Rapper/Lyricist and Best Duo or Group in African Hip Hop.

In other notable moments, Senegalese icons Youssou N’dour, Baaba Maal, and Ismaël Lô were given the AFRIMA Legend Award, which is selected by the awards’ international executive committee.

All of the winners across the remaining 39 categories for the 8th AFRIMA in Senegal were decided by popular vote across a pool of 9,067 submitted entries.

South Africa’s Costa Titch and Frrench-Congolese artist Dadju lead the group, with each artist earning six nominations. Burna Boy, KIzz Daniel, Tiwa Savage and Fireboy DML bagged nominations each.

This year, the organization received its highest number of entries ever recorded since the award show began in 2014. The award show’s jury chose 382 nominations across 39 musical categories, to underscore five African regions and the musical talents that represent those regions.

South African jury member Adam Tiran, said that he was confident that he and other members had made the right selections this year for talent.

“We are confident in our selection this year, after carefully reviewing all 9,076 entries. We are sure this is an accurate and inclusive representation of where the African music industry currently is,” said Tiran. “We have put in the effort to ensure that AFRIMA’s nominations remain as credible and authentic as always.”

West African countries led the charge with a total of 134 nominations, and this was followed by the Eastern African region, whose artists came to 69 nominations. Southern African artists followed behind with 68 nominations and Central African artists had 52 nominations, while Northern African artists had an entry totaling to 49 nominations. The global region for this year’s award show representing non-Africans pulled in 10 nominations.

The nominations fall into a variety of categories, according to Angela Martins, Head of Culture, African Union Commission on the Jury:

“The nominees list comprising 29 continental award categories and 10 regional award categories released for public voting on www.afrima.org. The remaining category for the “Legend Award” will be announced at the awards. Also, we brought back the “Best Soundtrack in a Movie, Series or Documentary” category, this year, due to the availability of quality entries for this year’s edition. Recall that we had to suspend it, last year, due to a shortage of quality entries, said Martins. “Overall, we are very proud and confident in our work, and we would continue to intensify our efforts to ensure AFRIMA remains the ultimate recognition of African music globally in line with its vision.”

See the full list of winners below.

Danny Lampo Weighs In on Medikal–Highest Eri Issue, Highlights Importance of Brand Protection

UK-based Ghanaian artiste Danny Lampo has added his voice to the ongoing conversation surrounding Medikal’s brief and controversial appointment of media personality Highest Eri as the Public Relations Officer for Beyond Kontrol. The appointment, which lasted just 24 hours, sparked intense public debate after fans and industry stakeholders criticized the decision due to Eri’s past comments about Medikal and his close associates.
In his reflection, Danny Lampo emphasized the importance of making strategic decisions when building a team, especially in an industry where public perception and loyalty are critical to an artist’s growth.
According to Lampo, team members must complement and protect the brand, not create confusion around it.
“Every artiste has the right to choose who they want to work with, but the people around you must protect your brand, not divide your fanbase,” Lampo stated. “Your team should reflect your values and direction. Once the fans feel confused or betrayed, problems begin.”
Lampo noted that while people can evolve and change their perspectives over time, public relations is a sensitive role that requires trust, consistency, and a clean public relationship with the artiste.
“If someone has publicly attacked your brand before, bringing them into your inner circle without managing the narrative can create tension,” he explained. “Forgiveness is good, but the communication and timing must be right. The public should clearly understand why the decision makes sense.”
He further advised artists to be more deliberate and transparent when making such appointments, as these decisions can influence fan loyalty, industry relationships, and overall brand stability.
Lampo believes the Medikal, Highest Eri situation serves as a learning moment for the entertainment industry:
“We need to grow to a point where professionalism guides our decisions,” he added. “Any move that affects your public image must be supported by a good communication strategy. Without that, it can damage both the artiste and the person brought on board.”
Danny Lampo also commended Medikal for managing the aftermath responsibly and encouraged emerging artists to surround themselves with team members who truly understand and support their vision.
“Your team is your backbone,” he concluded. “The wrong energy around you can break everything you’ve built.”
As the controversy settles, Lampo’s measured perspective offers a reminder that brand protection, trust, and professional communication remain essential pillars for success in Ghana’s entertainment landscape.

Prison Officer Loses GH₵5,000 To Travel Agent After Chasing A Better Life Abroad

For Enoch Yeboah Kese, a prison officer who has served for several years, the dream of traveling abroad was supposed to be his escape from financial hardship. But today, he says that dream has turned into a painful lesson.

Enoch explains that life in the Ghana Prison Service has been far from easy. Despite the dedication and discipline required, his salary remains too low to sustain the rising cost of living.

“I love my job, but the pay is nothing to smile about,” he says. “The risks are high, the pressure is constant, yet the salary doesn’t match the work we put in. It’s frustrating.”

Hoping to secure a better future, Enoch decided to pursue an opportunity abroad. He saved for months—cutting down on basic comforts—until he finally raised GH₵5,000, money he paid to a travel agent who promised to secure him a visa and a job.

But according to Enoch, that promise never materialized.

“The agent kept assuring me everything was on track,” he recounts. “Later he stopped picking my calls, stopped responding to messages. That was when I realised something was wrong.”

Feeling deceived, Enoch says he had no choice but to confront the agent repeatedly, demanding a refund of his hard-earned money.

“I chased him everywhere,” he says. “I worked for that money. I sacrificed for it. Losing it just like that was painful.”

Though still disappointed, Enoch says the experience has not killed his dream of relocating abroad. Instead, it has made him more cautious, more determined, and more vocal about the struggles many public-sector workers face.

“I don’t want to leave because I hate Ghana,” he says. “I want to leave because I need a fair chance at life. I want to support my family, build a future, and finally feel rewarded for my hard work.”

His story echoes the frustrations of many young workers seeking better opportunities outside the country—only to face obstacles even before they leave.
