SHARE

 

Last night, on Saturday the 18th of May 2019, the 20th edition of the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMAs) held in Accra, Ghana. The biggest names in Ghanaian music gathered at the Accra International Conference Centre, where several artists and producers would receive honors for the work done within the past year.

The night saw many captivating performances by the likes of Kwesi Arthur, Kuami Eugene, Medikal, Samini, Sarkodie, our very own Burna Boy, and more. Several artists went home with awards, some even bagging more than one.

However, the night was also marked with some commotion, as chaos ensued during a brief altercation as Shatta Wale and crew stormed the stage during Stonebwoy's acceptance speech for Reggae/Dancehall Artist of the Year, where Stonebwoy then proceeded to pull out a firearm.

The show was stopped briefly, but once the dust settled it continued with a performance by Samini, and the rest of the program for the night. Due to the altercation, the results of two awards were withheld - Artist of the Year, and Most Popular Song of the Year, with VGMA officials stating that they will be announced at a later date.

Burna Boy also took home the award for African Artist of the Year, where Mama Burna gave an inspiring acceptance speech on his behalf.
