The Grand Arena of the Accra International Conference Centre hosted one of the biggest award shows in the Ghanaian music industry, the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA), which featured a wide range of performances, pleasant surprises, and lots of fun.

The 24th annual VGMAs, which were hosted by Charterhouse, definitely brought excitement and delight to the victors while infuriating the losers and rewarding fans and patrons with exhilarating performances from the artists they adore.

Black Sherif, the new kid on the block, topped the day with five trophies, including the top prize of bragging rights as the VGMA Artiste of The Year.
