• Shatta Wale took to the comments section of King Promise's Instagram post where he had shared photos of himself holding the awards he won at the TGMA
• The Artiste of the Year winner was tipped by the dancehall star to win the ultimate prize at the coveted award show, and his prediction came true
• Aside from the Artiste of the Year award, King Promise also won awards for Best AfroPop Song, Best Afropop/Afribeats Song, and Album/EP of the Year

Shatta Wale has congratulated King Promise after his big night of wins at the 26th Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA).

The dancehall star took to the comments section of King Promise’s Instagram post to celebrate him winning Artiste of the Year.

Before the event, Shatta Wale publicly backed King Promise to win the top award. His prediction came true on May 10, 2025, when he was named Artiste of the Year at the Grand Arena of the Accra International Conference Centre.

King Promise won four awards on the night. Aside from Artiste of the Year, he also took home Best AfroPop Song, Best Afropop/Afrobeats Song, and Album/EP of the Year. His performance over the past year, including hit songs and international tours, played a major role in his success.

In 2024, King Promise lost the TGMA best artist award to Stonebwoy. However, many believed it was a close contest. This year, both artists were once again among the favourites, with King Promise leading the nominees that included Joe Mettle, Black Sherif, King Paluta, Team Eternity Ghana, Kweku Smoke, and Stonebwoy.

Shatta Wale, who was once banned from the TGMA, showed support for King Promise both online and in person. A video that went viral before the event showed the two artists speaking in Ga and sharing a friendly moment.
