Ghana: Entertainment Achievement Awards 2022 announce winners

Now in their second year, the EAAs were established by Citi TV to celebrate Ghanaian creatives across music, sports, comedy, online media and film.

The ‘Second Sermon’ singer, who recently secured a deal with American distribution company and record label EMPIRE, beat off competition from fellow musicians KiDi, Stonebwoy, Sarkodie, Amaarae as well as broadcaster Giovanni Caleb and comedian OB Amponsah to claim the coveted award. 

Other big winners in the music category are KiDi, who picked up the Best Male Artist and Song of the Year Awards, and Gyakie, who was named Best Female Artist. Highlife singer Akwaboah took home with Album of the Year Award for his Lighthouse EP while veteran producer Zapp Mallet was presented the Special Recognition Award for his contribution to music over the years.
