University of Ghana Students’ Representative Council (SRC) Presidential Candidate, Maradona Adjei Yeboah, known as Guru, has stated that his <a href="https://www.pulse.com.gh/entertainment/celebrities/guru-reinstated-in-ug-src-presidential-race-after-winning-appeal/png1gce">political affiliation did not influence his SRC bid.</a>
Guru, a well-known artiste in Ghana, explained that despite his strong ties with the New Patriotic Party (NPP), his presidential ambitions at the UG-SRC were independent of the party's influence.
 <img src="https://ocdn.eu/pulscms/MDA_/de142ed6fb54561c1f7b4c3497ed5cb4.jpeg" alt="Guru" /> Guru 
His remarks come in response to widespread beliefs that the two major political parties, the NPP and NDC, fund proxies in various university-level elections to advance their agendas within <a href="https://www.pulse.com.gh/entertainment/celebrities/guru-petitions-ug-judicial-board-to-halt-src-elections-after-his-disqualification/t9decze">academic institutions across the country. </a>
According to Guru, while he is a member of the NPP and supports the ideas of Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the party’s flagbearer, the NPP had no role in his political aspirations. “The students don’t like mixing mainstream politics with school politics. I am solely sponsoring my campaign,” he told Adom FM.
Maradona stated that, if elected, he would address critical issues affecting students, including accommodation, transportation, and data services for online lectures. He also mentioned plans for his future SRC government to implement a <a href="https://www.pulse.com.gh/entertainment/celebrities/guru-nkz-has-been-disqualified-from-the-university-of-ghana-src-race/bzdcxdd">policy to establish one sick bay in every hall. </a>

He highlighted that his policies were aimed at improving student welfare and alleviating both curricular and non-curricular challenges on campus.
<h2>Guru’s disqualification rescinded</h2>
Maradona Adjei Yeboah, aka Guru, successfully appealed his disqualification from the University of Ghana's SRC presidential race. Initially, Guru and his running mate, Lawrence Edinam Egleh, were disqualified, <a href="https://www.pulse.com.gh/entertainment/celebrities/guru-reveals-strange-items-removed-from-his-body-after-juju-attack-on-stage/3r19l86">but the rapper claimed that it was a case of discrimination.</a>
It was reported that the university's appeals board ruled on Guru's status in the SRC presidential race on September 15.

According to Radio Univers, the decision by the University of Ghana Appeals Board was unanimous.

According to Dr. Owusu, the comedian has not fully recovered from the influence of the substance, and this has contributed to his erratic behaviour.

The post, which has sparked widespread worry, has led many to call for urgent intervention to support the comedian, who has a history of mental health struggles.

<a href="https://www.pulse.com.gh/entertainment/celebrities/i-thought-every-tv-station-would-hire-me-ama-k-abebrese-on-career-challenges/4m14y11">Ghanaian actor Ama K. Abebrese </a>has shared her thoughts on the challenges actors face within and outside the industry. 
Speaking to Joy Prime’s Roselyn Felli on the channel’s late afternoon show, 'Changes', she emphasised that acting requires resilience due to the struggles involved in securing movie roles.
“I hear ‘I want to act’ all the time. Being an actor is one of the most disappointing things you can be. It doesn’t matter what part of the world you’re in. 
 <img src="https://ocdn.eu/pulscms/MDA_/a3e71c84a3e7e0ba1227cca5976e7f4e.jpg" alt="Ama K. Abebrese" /> Ama K. Abebrese 
Let’s say that you’ve auditioned for something you think you’ve done so great, and sometimes you can go to your first, second, or third; they can call you back like four times, and by the fourth time you think you’ve started cashing the cheque, knowing you’ve got the role, and then you don’t get it. So, it builds you up and pushes you down. 
So, you need to have a level of tough skin because it gets to a point where you start taking it personally,” she said.
The actress went on to say that she has attended far more auditions than the number of films she has featured in since the start of her career. She recounted losing <a href="https://www.pulse.com.gh/entertainment/music/ama-k-abebrese-promises-to-also-shoot-movie-at-jubilee-house-over-the-meek-mill/rsbwrz1">over twenty roles she auditioned for in the past year</a>, despite her experience.

However, she has never given up, acknowledging that while it is often a difficult and painful experience, it is a natural part of the industry. Rather than discouraging her, it helps to refine her skills and motivates her to persist in attending more <a href="https://www.pulse.com.gh/entertainment/celebrities/im-proud-of-ghana-ama-k-abebrese-celebrates-black-stars-despite-loss/cb7s7mr">auditions whenever a project comes up.</a>
“If I didn’t get it, it just meant sometimes it’s not for me, and there are times when you find out who got the role, and then you understand why you were not given the role,” she further noted.

Reflecting on her career, Ama K. Abebrese revealed that, despite being in the creative industry for years, she has appeared in only about twenty films. 
She expressed satisfaction with this, as most of the movies she has featured in have been impactful and well-received. Her focus, she highlighted, is on the quality of the films rather than the quantity.
<h2>Ama K. Abebrese known roles</h2>
Ama K. Abebrese is known for her roles in 'Beast of No Nation', for which she auditioned, as well as other award-winning local and international movies, <a href="https://www.pulse.com.gh/entertainment/movies/ama-k-abebrese-i-am-going-to-win-oscars-for-ghana/xlx02bt">including 'Sinking Sands', 'Double-Cross', and 'Azali, among others.</a>

In recent years, several Ghanaian celebrities have turned to the public for financial help, often due to health issues or financial crises.
This trend raises concerns about the support systems available to these stars once their fame fades. Here are some notable cases that have sparked conversation:
<h3>1. John Peasah aka Drogba – Battling Demyelination</h3>
In March 2024, John Peasah, famed for his role as Drogba in YOLO, revealed he was suffering from demyelination, a disease that impacts the nervous system. His sister shared that his symptoms began during the final season of YOLO. 
Despite his on-screen success, Peasah took to social media to seek financial help for his ongoing treatment, highlighting the difficulties many entertainers face when health crises arise.
<h3>2. Moesha Boduong – Stroke and Public Appeal</h3>
In January 2024, Moesha Boduong’s brother, Ebito Boduong, announced that the socialite had suffered a stroke, which had left her unable to move or speak. 
Ebito set up a GoFundMe page to cover the steep medical bills, asking the public for assistance. This case increased the number of celebrities relying on public donations to manage medical expenses.
<h3>3. Kofi Laing, aka Kowhe – Struggling to Make Ends Meet</h3>
Veteran actor Kofi Laing, also known as Kowhe, shocked fans in 2019 when he revealed he was struggling to afford necessities. Once a highly paid actor, Kowhe’s emotional plea for help emphasised how many former stars face financial hardship in their later years.
His poignant words, "Unfortunately, people will wait for you to die before they show love," struck a chord with many, bringing attention to the lack of financial security for ageing celebrities. Kohwe died on 16 September 2021 at age 75 after suffering from a stroke in his residence in Accra.
<h3>4. Okomfour Kwaadee – Mental Health Struggles</h3>
Hiplife legend Okomfour Kwaadee was once one of Ghana’s most beloved rappers. However, his career was derailed by mental health issues, which kept him out of the public eye for years.
In 2020, disturbing images of Kwaadee looking frail circulated online, and reports emerged that he was seeking treatment at rehabilitation centres. His case sheds light on the mental health challenges some entertainers face, often in silence.
<h3>5. Eyoh Soundboy – Kidney Disease Battle</h3>
Music producer Eyoh Soundboy, known for working with top artists like Shatta Wale and Sarkodie, battled kidney-related illness for some time. His wife revealed that they needed at least one million Ghana cedis to continue dialysis treatments and undergo a crucial surgery. 
Sadly, the Ghanaian record producer passed on through his battle with kidney failure for years. The tragic incident occurred in his home on Wednesday, 2nd March 2022. The young producer’s financial struggle was a stark reminder that even rising stars could face life-threatening health crises without adequate resources.
<h3>6. Psalm Adjetefio – Facing Homelessness</h3>
In a heartbreaking 2021 interview, Taxi Driver actor Psalm Adjetefio, also known as TT, revealed he was on the verge of homelessness. Despite his ongoing popularity through commercials, he couldn’t afford his rent of GH₵3000 and turned to the public for help. Psalm Adjeteyfio died on Friday, April 8, 2022, at the age of 74. 
His case resonated deeply, highlighting the vulnerability of once-famous actors who find themselves financially insecure later.
These stories reflect a more significant issue within Ghana’s entertainment industry: the lack of financial security and proper celebrity support systems. While public donations have helped some, there is a growing concern about the sustainability of such practices. 
Is this a key concern political parties are missing? Although they have been campaigning with their manifestos, none has emphasised any central policy to address this need. Should a more formal system be in place to protect entertainers from such financial and health crises? Share your thoughts with us in our comment section.

The US-based Ghanaian socialite has frequently faced harsh criticism online due to his outspoken critiques of celebrity fashion and his penchant for wearing women's clothing, which has led many netizens to question his sexuality.

“I am very confident in myself, and when I walk into a room, it makes certain people uncomfortable. It triggers certain people,” he emphasised on the Delay Show.
He added, “I make them uncomfortable. I make Ghanaians uncomfortable, and I don’t know why. It’s probably something they need to talk to their therapists about. I cannot help them on why they feel uncomfortable; they have to seek therapy.”

Discussing his recent appearance at ta recent event held in Kumasi, Charlie Dior noted that many of his outfits were criticised, with people using vulgar language to describe him. 
<h2>Charlie Dior's response to critics</h2>
In response to the backlash, the fashion critic stressed that he is not the source of their frustrations.
“You know, they are very vulgar and I don’t know why they are mad. They were very vulgar. Like why are you insulting me, why am I triggering you so much? I mean if you don’t like the clothes, you don’t like the clothes, but why are you going to the extent of insulting me; have I offended you?

“I’m not the source of your issues or problems, so if you don’t like my choice of attire, you can comment and say ‘I do not like this outfit. I feel like you can do it in a better way’ then we are having a productive conversation,” he said.
Delay, curious about the reason behind the insults, asked Charlie Dior why he thinks people criticise him.
In response, he reiterated that he believes Ghanaians are uncomfortable with his <a href="https://www.pulse.com.gh/entertainment/celebrities/avoid-salomey-if-you-dont-want-to-be-emotionally-attached-ladies-advised/kxjfgsm">personality and urged his critics to seek therapy.</a>

The Judicial Board of the University of Ghana Students’ Representative Council (SRC) has ruled that rapper Maradona Adjei Yeboah, <a href="https://www.pulse.com.gh/entertainment/celebrities/guru-nkz-has-been-disqualified-from-the-university-of-ghana-src-race/bzdcxdd">popularly known as Guru</a>, is eligible to contest in the 2024 presidential elections.
The ruling indicated that the SRC Vetting Committee's decision to disqualify him due to his non-residential status was flawed.
It was explained that the Vetting Committee’s interpretation of Article 30(1)(a) of the UGSRC Constitution was<a href="https://www.pulse.com.gh/entertainment/celebrities/guru-petitions-ug-judicial-board-to-halt-src-elections-after-his-disqualification/t9decze"> incorrect and made without proper jurisdiction.</a>
 <img src="https://ocdn.eu/pulscms/MDA_/c5d3885072c79f27537e7821bf93fa0a.jpg" alt="Guru NKZ" /> Guru NKZ 
After thoroughly reviewing the case, the board reinstated Guru in the 2024 UGSRC elections, deeming the disqualification a misjudgement.
“Having carefully considered the submissions of both parties and examined the relevant provisions of the SRC Constitution, the Court finds merit in the Applicant’s arguments. The disqualification of the applicants: Mr Maradona Adjei Yeboah, Mr Lawrence Edinam Egleh, as purportedly being non-residents, lacking the capacity to run for SRC elections lacks reasonable basis.
“Furthermore, the interpretation the Vetting Committee sought to apply to Article 30(1)(a) of the UGSRC Constitution is flawed in its entirety as they were made without proper jurisdiction and proper understanding of the provisions. I will therefore grant the reliefs sought by the applicants,” portions of the ruling released by the UGSRC Judicial Board read.
Guru faced public ridicule after the SRC Vetting Committee <a href="https://www.pulse.com.gh/entertainment/celebrities/guru-reveals-strange-items-removed-from-his-body-after-juju-attack-on-stage/3r19l86">disqualified him based on his non-residential status.</a>
The rapper’s presidential aspirations have now been revived following the ruling in his favour.

Gospel musician, Nicholas Omane Acheampong, has made allegations regarding the ongoing illegal mining activities, known locally as <a href="https://www.pulse.com.gh/news/politics/all-seized-excavators-from-galamsey-will-be-returned-if-bawumia-wins-napo/zmpl5wm">galamsey</a>, in Ghana, pointing to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) as complicit.
According to Acheampong, these activities are being orchestrated by foreigners who were allegedly brought into the country and equipped by the NDC.
 He claims that the aim of these actions is to destroy water bodies and tarnish the reputation of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to sway votes in favour of the NDC.
Acheampong further asserted that if President Akufo-Addo had deployed soldiers to galamsey sites to combat these illegal miners, the same foreigners would have disguised themselves as soldiers and killed Ghanaians to sabotage the NPP government.
<h2>Growing calls to ban galamsey</h2>
The controversy comes amid growing calls from various organisations, unions, and the Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) for the government to take decisive action against galamsey. The GWCL has reported significant difficulties in treating water from polluted sources, particularly in the Central Region, where treatment facilities along the River Pra are not operating at full capacity due to excessive contamination.
Health sector associations and unions, including the Ghana Medical Association and the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association, have demanded an immediate ban on all small-scale mining operations, whether legal or illegal. They have also called for stronger regulatory directives and resources for security agencies to crack down on illegal miners.
The University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG) and the Peasant Farmers Association of Ghana (PFAG) have also joined the campaign, urging the government to impose an immediate ban on illegal mining to protect the environment, farmers’ livelihoods, and food security.

Gospel musician, Brother Sammy, has criticised fellow gospel artist Ohemaa Mercy’s claim that she heard the voice of God to get a divorce.
 Speaking on United Showbiz on UTV on Saturday, September 14, 2024, he expressed his disapproval of <a href="https://www.pulse.com.gh/entertainment/celebrities/ohemaa-mercy-reveals-the-role-the-holy-spirit-played-in-her-divorce/wn8qz2x">Ohemaa Mercy</a>’s decision to divorce her husband. 
According to Brother Sammy, Ohemaa Mercy’s claim that she heard the voice of God instructing her to get a divorce is questionable. He alleged that the real reason behind the divorce was financial.
“Ohemaa got the divorce because she has gotten money and did not want the ex-husband to enjoy,” he alleged.
<h2>Concerns over influence on younger ministers</h2>
Brother Sammy also raised concerns about the potential influence of Ohemaa Mercy’s actions on younger ministers. He questioned what she would say to those who look up to her when they come to her with similar claims. 
“What will she say to the younger ministers who look up to her, when they come to tell her that they have also heard the voice of God to get a divorce? If we go on that tangent, everybody will then say they have heard clearly from God that they should get a divorce,” he remarked.
In an earlier interview, Ohemaa Mercy revealed that her decision to divorce was guided by a divine revelation. She claimed that she heard the voice of the Lord instructing her to end her marriage. According to Ohemaa Mercy, this spiritual experience was profound and left her with no doubt about the path she needed to take. She emphasised that her actions were not motivated by personal gain but by a deep sense of obedience to God’s will. This revelation has been a cornerstone of her explanation for the divorce, aiming to reassure her followers that her decision was spiritually grounded.
As the discussion continues, it remains to be seen how Ohemaa Mercy will respond to these criticisms and what impact this controversy will have on her career and ministry.

British-Ghanaian actress and television presenter <a href="https://www.pulse.com.gh/entertainment/kofi-kinaata-ama-k-abebrese-named-un-goodwill-ambassadors/4n2jssx">Ama K. Abebrese</a> has opened up about the unforeseen difficulties she encountered after relocating to Ghana. 
In an interview on Okay FM on Friday, September 13, 2024, Ama K. Abebrese highlighted her initial expectations versus the reality she faced within the Ghanaian media and entertainment industry.
"I arrived in Ghana with the belief that I would be quickly hired by every TV station," Abebrese admitted.
Despite her considerable experience in the UK, she discovered that the Ghanaian entertainment scene presented a different set of challenges.
According to her, her career in Ghana commenced with a position at a marketing firm for Canoe Magazine. Through this role, she became aware of local auditions and subsequently met filmmaker Leila Djansi, who was casting for a film.

In an interview on Okay FM on Friday, September 13, 2024, Ama K. Abebrese highlighted her initial expectations versus the reality she faced within the Ghanaian media and entertainment industry.
"I arrived in Ghana with the belief that I would be quickly hired by every TV station," Abebrese admitted. 
Despite her considerable experience in the UK, she discovered that the Ghanaian entertainment scene presented a different set of challenges.

Through this role, she became aware of local auditions and subsequently met filmmaker Leila Djansi, who was casting for a film. She stated that this opportunity marked the beginning of her career in Ghana, though it came with its own set of obstacles.

Popular stylist and media presenter, Charlie Dior, has opened up about his father’s influence during his upbringing.
He revealed this on an episode of the popular Ghanaian television show, The Delay Show, which is yet to air.
In the excerpt of the episode, Charlie Dior recounted his father’s efforts to shape his posture and demeanour.
“My dad, growing up, would be like, ‘Don’t stand like this. Stand like that,’” Dior recalled.
He emphasised that these corrections from his father were not out of a lack of love but rather a deep concern for his future.
“It wasn’t because he doesn’t love me, but he was trying to make life easier for me. Because he knows that life will not be easy for somebody like me.”
Dior explained that his father’s guidance was an attempt to help him conform to societal expectations of what masculinity is.
“He was trying to make me fit what society deems a man should look like,” he added.
Charlie Dior is known for his critiques of celebrity fashion choices, not only highlighting the best-dressed but also calling out fashion faux pas.
<h2>Dior’s love for make-up and both male and female attire</h2>
Charlie is also known for rocking both male and female outfits, and make-up. According to him, he feels comfortable in all of them.
Charlie Dior in another interview some time ago revealed that he used to be a Sunday School teacher. According to him, he loves God and has a commitment for the Christian faith. However, he stopped attending church because of what he terms as toxic traits among church members. He described them as being judgemental

<img src="https://ocdn.eu/pulscms/MDA_/b90be6f057e26344cef03f5f9fc0e2d7.png" alt="Moses Bennisan" />
Generally, women are widely known to become emotionally attached to <a href="https://www.pulse.com.gh/entertainment/celebrities/shatta-wale-pledges-to-support-young-fan-with-ghcedi20k-who-wished-to-meet-him/cx7jnv8">their partners in relationships more easily.</a>
These emotional attachments, often viewed as investments by women, place them in a dilemma where they must decide whether to stay or leave when facing challenges in the relationship.
Prophet Moses Bennisan, speaking on Joy TV’s 'Morning Prime', has explained what leads to women often becoming <a href="https://www.pulse.com.gh/entertainment/celebrities/akwaboah-open-to-performing-for-political-parties-but-refuses-to-compose-songs/q1pnmj6">emotionally attached in their relationships.</a>

According to him, women who engage in sexual activities with their partners are more likely to become emotionally attached in their relationships.
He advised that to avoid such attachments, women should refrain from actions that could be seen as investments, such as frequent sleepovers, <a href="https://www.pulse.com.gh/entertainment/celebrities/asamoah-gyan-trends-as-he-nearly-slaps-sammy-awukus-brother-in-law-in-leaked-video/kbcxj1c">washing their partner’s clothes, or cooking for them.</a>
“When we talk about emotional attachments, it is to avoid having sex, avoid going to do 'salomey,' what we term as sleepovers. That means you are investing. That is not the time for you to go to his place every time to wash. So, washing his clothes and cooking for him should be avoided,” he said.

He also pointed out that relationships do not require both parties to provide mutual financial support or to engage in sexual activity as a reward for financial support received from a partner.
He suggested that until marriage, financial <a href="https://www.pulse.com.gh/entertainment/celebrities/i-am-not-respected-because-i-am-not-a-literate-apostle-kwadwo-safo-video/tyxgebk">responsibilities should not be a factor in the relationship.</a>
“Maybe the man has been supporting you financially but does not permit you to go there and sleep over. Until you are married, you do not have any financial responsibility,” he said.

In an interview on Okay FM on 12 September 2024, the ‘Obiba’ hitmaker said he would rather create music that benefits the entire nation rather than align with a single political entity.
“If you call me to perform, I would, but if it is to compose a song, no, I can't. I would rather compose for Ghana as a whole,” he said.

Akwaboah explained that composing for a political party could have negative repercussions if the party does not succeed.
Instead, he believes that supporting<a href="https://www.pulse.com.gh/entertainment/celebrities/i-will-take-ghs90k-to-perform-at-political-event-kweku-darlington/bqtw6vn"> Ghana as a whole would be more beneficial for everyone.</a>
“If I do a song for Ghana and the country progresses, it would benefit all of us, but if I compose a song for a single political party and it doesn't work out, it would affect me negatively,” he explained.

I could say, ‘Your Excellency, since it’s you who is asking for this service, give me only GHS80,000 or GHS90,000 to perform. I’ll go and perform, and if another party calls, I’ll do the same,’” the 'Sika Aba Fie' hitmaker said.
“The only thing I will not do is the campaign song because, in that case, you’ve limited and put yourself in a box,” he added.

In a statement posted on his social media handle on X (formerly Twitter), Ghana's record goalscorer said he has not been fair to the country's youth by being affiliated with a political party, and will now be taking a step back from active politics to focus on independently contributing to empowering the youth of Ghana through the Asamoah Gyan Foundation.

<a href="https://www.pulse.com.gh/entertainment/celebrities/kwadwo-safo-kantanka-jnr-and-wife-mark-4th-marriage-anniversary-photo/k9g21jn">Ghanaian industrialist, inventor, and pastor Apostle Kwadwo Safo </a>has voiced his frustration over the lack of recognition he receives in Ghana, attributing it to the country's emphasis on formal education over practical industrialisation. 
The founder of the Kristo Asafo Church, known for his innovative inventions and industrial contributions, expressed disappointment that his vision and contributions were undervalued.
Apostle Safo lamented that many Ghanaians prioritise reading, writing, and speaking "big grammar" over the tangible benefits of industrial innovation. He pointed out that Ghanaians tend to favour imported goods over locally produced ones despite creating products similar to those made by foreigners.
“Because they feel education is better and what I do has no value, I am not regarded in this country. They condemned my vision and projects because they said reading and writing are far better. When you want to impact your knowledge of industrialisation, they will tell you no. They prefer to study and speak the big grammar,” he said during an interview with Cheddar.
Speaking in a recent interview, Apostle Safo further emphasised that the country’s neglect of industrialisation has worsened its economic struggles, highlighting the burden of debt and foreign dependence. “Look at the debts we are burdened with. It's sad. The foreigners are dictating to us because we depend on them,” he remarked.
He ended his message with a heartfelt plea, urging Ghanaians to embrace his vision: “Help me to help you before I die.”

<a href="https://www.pulse.com.gh/entertainment/music/tyla-5-facts-about-the-water-singer-who-beat-burna-boy-and-others-to-win-grammys/kscz13d">South African music star Tyla has proudly embraced her roots in Amapiano</a> music after winning the Afrobeats category at the MTV Music Video Awards (VMAs). 
The Johannesburg-born singer expressed her pride in representing South Africa and Amapiano, despite being recognised in the Afrobeats category.
Tyla took the opportunity to address the tendency of global music platforms to categorise all African artists under Afrobeats, emphasising the diversity of African music. "Even though Afrobeats has run things and opened doors for us, African music is so diverse," Tyla said. "I come from South Africa, and I represent Amapiano and my culture."
 <img src="https://ocdn.eu/pulscms/MDA_/3638df30cd49552d886eaaea72d9eb8a.jpg" alt="Tyla beats Tems, Ayra Starr, Davido, others to 2024 VMAs" /> Tyla beats Tems, Ayra Starr, Davido, others to 2024 VMAs 
In her speech, Tyla praised her fellow nominees, including Rema, Tems, Ayra Starr, Burna Boy, Wizkid, and Davido, all notable figures in the Afrobeats genre. She described her victory as both “special and bittersweet,” recognising the significance of her achievement while acknowledging the challenge of African music being oversimplified into one genre.
“This is such a big moment for Africa and African music,” Tyla said, becoming the first South African artist to win a VMA. She reiterated the importance of recognising the rich variety within African music, highlighting that it extends beyond just Afrobeats.
Tyla’s comments have sparked conversations about the global classification of African music. Fans and fellow artists have celebrated her win while calling for greater recognition of the continent's musical diversity.
The winners of the MTV Video Music Awards 2024 (VMAs) were announced at the UBS Arena in New York on 11 September, with South African artist Tyla emerging top in the Best Afrobeats category against Nigerian musicians Burna Boy, Tems, Davido and Ayra Starr.
