TGMA 2026: Black Sherif, Stonebwoy, and Medikal Lead 27th Edition Nominations — Full List Revealed

​ The 27th Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA) has officially kicked off its 2026 season following the grand unveiling of this year’s nominees at the Palms Convention Centre. The list features a high-stakes battle among Ghana’s biggest musical exports, with Black Sherif, Stonebwoy, and Sarkodie leading the charge in the most prestigious categories.

​ This year’s Artiste of the Year category is arguably one of the most competitive we’ve seen in years. Heavyweights Black Sherif, Stonebwoy, Sarkodie, Medikal, Wendy Shay, and Diana Hamilton are all in the running for the night’s ultimate prize. Notably, Black Sherif has maintained his momentum from last year, picking up major nods in categories like Songwriter of the Year, Best Music Video (for "Sacrifice"), and Best Hiphop Song.

​In the Hiplife/Hiphop categories, Medikal’s hit "Shoulder" featuring Shatta Wale and Beeztrap KOTM has secured a spot for Best Hiplife Song, while the rap game remains fierce with Strongman, Lyrical Joe, and Ko-Jo Cue going up against Sarkodie for Best Rap Performance. The Highlife scene is equally packed, with Kofi Kinaata, King Paluta, Kuami Eugene, and Fameye battling for supremacy in both the Best Highlife Song and Artiste categories.

​New talent is also getting a well-deserved spotlight. The Best New Artiste category features promising names like Kojo Blak, AratheJay, Gonaboy, and Lalid, proving that the future of Ghanaian music is in good hands. Meanwhile, the gospel front is led by industry stalwarts like Piesie Esther, Diana Hamilton, and MOG Music, who continue to dominate the airwaves.

​The nominations were announced by Charterhouse on Saturday, March 14, 2026, during a day-long event that combined social media reveals with a final televised ceremony. This 27th edition covers works released between January 1 and December 31, 2025. One notable absence this year is Joe Mettle, who is not part of the scheme due to reported scheduling conflicts. The main awards night is scheduled to take place on May 9, 2026.

​The race is officially on, and the debates are already heating up—stay with Jay Empire Blog for all the latest updates as we count down to the big night!

Not every day will feel productive

  Lifestyle: Not every day will feel productive One thing nobody tells you about life is that not every day will feel productive. Some days you wake up tired, confused, or not in the mood to do anything serious. You start to feel like you are wasting time or falling behind in life. But the truth is, life is not supposed to feel perfect every day. Even people who are successful have days where they feel lost, unmotivated, or unsure about what they are doing. The problem is that many young people think progress means always feeling ready, always feeling strong, always feeling focused. That is not real life. Real life means you keep going even when you don’t feel your best. You do what you can today, then try again tomorrow. Your lifestyle is not built in one day. It is built from small decisions you make every day, even on the days you don’t feel like it. Stay consistent. Stay patient. Your life will slowly take shape. — Jay Empire Blog

Stop the "Betting Slip" Cycle: Adnan Saani Dangote and Why Your Phone Should Be an Asset, Not a Liability

  Stop the "Betting Slip" Cycle: Adnan Saani Dangote and Why Your Phone Should Be an Asset, Not a Liability ​Intro: Entrepreneur and wealth coach Adnan Saani Dangote is challenging the Ghanaian youth to make a life-changing pivot: delete the betting apps and start building real wealth through disciplined investing. His message is clear—wealth isn't found in the next "sure win" on a bet slip, but in the patience and strategy of a well-managed investment portfolio. ​According to Saani Dangote, the constant lure of fast money through sports betting is one of the biggest roadblocks to financial freedom for young people today. He argues that while gambling is designed for you to lose over time, investing allows your money to work for you. As a professional advisor, I couldn't agree more. Transitioning from a "gambling mindset" to an "investor mindset" means you stop chasing luck and start leveraging compound interest and market growth. ​To hel...

The Moment You Realize Money Follows Value — Not Noise

  The Moment You Realize Money Follows Value — Not Noise There comes a point in every entrepreneur’s journey when the truth finally hits: It’s not the loudest person who earns the most. It’s the most valuable one. A lot of people shout online — posting aggressively, bragging, rushing, copying trends, chasing quick money. But the ones who build wealth understand something deeper: Money is attracted. Not hunted. When you focus on value, everything shifts. Value is why a simple designer earns more than someone posting “DM for business.” Value is why an editor with steady clients beats someone screaming “I need gigs.” Value is why some businesses grow quietly while others make noise with no results. The day you choose value over hype is the day your income becomes predictable. That’s when you stop chasing engagement and start attracting clients. You stop forcing sales and start leading conversations. You stop surviving and start building. Here’s the formula wealthy people don’t talk ab...
