Ghanaian music icon Stonebwoy has extended a heartfelt message of gratitude to his team, supporters, and the organizers of the Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA), following his standout performance at the 26th edition of the prestigious event. The Afro-Dancehall star took to his official X (formerly Twitter) page to celebrate the individuals and institutions who contributed to the success of his showcase at the awards ceremony.
The 2025 edition of the TGMA, held at the Grand Arena of the Accra International Conference Centre, was another milestone in Ghana’s entertainment calendar. And for Stonebwoy — a consistent figure in the evolution of Ghanaian music — the event was an opportunity to not only entertain but also reflect on the journey so far.
“Massive Love” to the BHIM Crew
In his post, Stonebwoy began by acknowledging the numerous creatives and professionals behind his live performance. From dancers to instrumentalists, costume designers to the technical crew, he praised every single member of his team for their contribution to the night’s success.
“Sending massive love to the BHIM BAND,” he wrote, “the dancers — both contemporary and traditional — the choristers, actors, instrumentalists, design, costume and styling. DJ Sedem, Ogee The MC, the security team and the technical/production crew from sound to light.”
His message highlights the often-unseen network of creatives and professionals who make performances memorable. Stonebwoy, known for his attention to detail in live shows, has built a reputation for bringing immersive stagecraft to Ghana’s music scene, and his TGMA set this year was no exception.
A Nod to Management, Media and Fans
Beyond the performance crew, Stonebwoy extended appreciation to his management team, public relations officers, and social media handlers. He emphasized that the success of his brand has always been the product of collaboration and consistent hard work.
“Also, to the management team, PR & social media managers, the executive team, the entire BHIM Nation and Ghanaians as a whole,” he added, recognizing not just his inner circle but also the wider community of fans who continue to support his music journey.
The BHIM Nation — his global fan base — responded warmly to the post, praising the artist for his humility and leadership. Many reposted the message, calling it a “classy move” in an industry where artists often take the spotlight for granted.
Saluting Charterhouse: “Ayekoo for 26 Years”
Stonebwoy didn’t end his gratitude spree without acknowledging Charterhouse Ghana, the event organizers behind the TGMA. Despite occasional criticisms of the awards body over the years, the BET Award-winning singer offered them praise for their endurance and contributions to Ghana’s music ecosystem.
“And to @CharterhouseGH for holding this down for 26 years,” he stated. “As a human institution, shortcomings are inevitable — but you are doing your very best for the Ghana music industry, and for that, I say Ayekoo.”
The comment drew widespread approval from industry stakeholders, especially coming from an artist who has had both high and controversial moments with the awards scheme. His maturity in appreciating the institution, while also acknowledging its imperfections, signals his growth as a leader in the entertainment space.
Commitment to Industry Growth
In concluding his message, Stonebwoy reiterated his commitment to Ghana’s music industry, promising to continue contributing to its growth and integrity.
“The brand Stonebwoy will continue to contribute its quota in upholding the high industry standards, come what may. So help us God. Long live Ghana music!” he declared.
This vow reinforces Stonebwoy’s positioning as not just an entertainer but a stakeholder in the long-term development of Ghanaian music. From investing in young talent to setting standards for stage performance, he continues to influence the industry on multiple levels.
A Star Performance That Left an Impression
At this year’s TGMA, Stonebwoy once again stole the show with a high-energy performance that blended live instrumentation, dance, and vocal strength. Backed by his BHIM Band and dancers in traditional regalia, his performance was a spectacle of cultural pride and musical excellence.
He performed a medley of fan favorites and newer releases, drawing loud cheers from the packed auditorium. Viewers at home and on social media were equally wowed, with many praising his ability to blend Ghanaian heritage with contemporary sound.
“Every year, Stonebwoy levels up. His TGMA set was theatrical, powerful, and emotional. He understands the assignment every time,” one fan posted.
Looking Ahead: Stonebwoy’s Unwavering Influence
As one of Ghana’s most internationally recognized artists, Stonebwoy has always carried a sense of responsibility toward the music scene that raised him. Over the years, he has championed genres like Afro-Dancehall and Highlife fusion, consistently flying the Ghanaian flag on global stages.
With his recent performance and message of gratitude, Stonebwoy once again demonstrated that true leadership in music is not only about awards and accolades but also about unity, appreciation, and vision.
His message also comes at a time when discussions around industry reform, artist welfare, and performance standards are growing louder in Ghana. By publicly praising all stakeholders — from backup dancers to event organizers — Stonebwoy has sent a powerful message: collaboration and recognition are key to sustaining a thriving creative industry.
As fans await his next project, one thing is certain: Stonebwoy’s legacy is not just in the music he creates, but in the culture he uplifts and the people he empowers.
