Wendy Shay is nominated alongside Medikal, Black Sherif, Diana Hamilton, Stonebwoy, and Sarkodie in the category.

A win would be her first Artiste of the Year title, as it would also be for Medikal.

Black Sherif and Diana Hamilton have each won the award once, while Stonebwoy and Sarkodie are two-time winners apiece.

Last year's award went to King Promise, following a competitive campaign season that generated significant public debate among the nominees' fanbases.
