Ghana Entertainment Awards USA 2024: All the nominees

Now in its sixth year, the ceremony spotlights and celebrates notable accomplishments of Ghanaian creatives at home and in the US and Canada across music, dance, media, poetry and comedy.

Last year, rapper Black Sherif emerged as the biggest winner after scooping honours in Album of the Year, for The Villain I Never Was, and Entertainer of the Year categories.

Among this year’s biggest music nominees are Black Sherif and Stonebwoy with three each, as well as Sarkodie, Shatta Wale, Medikal and Jay Bahd with two nods apiece.
