Who wins what? Ebony Reigns, Shatta Wale, King Promise likely to win

Just like every year, Pulse Ghana’s entertainment editor, David Mawuli has picked the likely winners for this year’s ceremony.

This year’s nomination list is a little bit tight – at least, the fact that Shatta Wale made a return to the award ceremony this year.

Also, newcomers penetrated the biggest categories than most of the mainstream performers. Top categories like “Hip-hop Song of the Year”, “Song of the Year”, “Best Rapper of the Year” and “Highlife Song of the Year” were partially dominated by the lads.

Despite the shocking demise of Ebony Reigns, David Mawuli believes her legacy will win her several posthumous accolades. The likes of Sarkodie, Shatta Wale, King Promise, KiDi, R2Bees and Joe Mettle are likely to pick up top accolades on the night.
