 Ghana & Africa Highlights

Ghana Entertainment Awards USA 2025 Returns for 7th Edition

The Ghana Entertainment Awards USA (GEA-USA) is gearing up for its 7th annual celebration on September 27, 2025, at the Avenue Event Space in South Hackensack, New Jersey. This year, the event will pay tribute to Ghana’s highlife music legacy, reminding the world that the roots of Afrobeats and Afro-pop can be traced back to Ghana’s timeless sounds.

Nominees were unveiled on August 31, and fans have been voting from September 1 to September 20. The show promises an unforgettable blend of music, fashion, and culture, showcasing both Ghanaian talents at home and in the diaspora.

For Almighty FM, this is more than just an event — it’s a story of Ghanaian music’s global footprint.

Gyakie Lights Up Times Square

Ghanaian Afrobeat star Gyakie has gone global again — this time gracing a billboard in Times Square, New York City as part of Spotify’s EQUAL campaign. Her latest project, After Midnight, is not just a local success but also gaining international traction.

Seeing Gyakie’s image towering over Times Square is proof of how far Ghanaian music has traveled. From Kumasi to New York, her rise is a reminder to young talents that persistence and smart branding matter as much as the music itself.

Dada KD’s Farewell: Ghana Bids a Legend Goodbye

The Ghanaian music community is still mourning the passing of Highlife legend Dada KD, who died earlier this month. His farewell homecoming on September 20, 2025, was marked by tributes from fans, fellow musicians, and cultural figures.

Dada KD was celebrated for his soulful vocals and lyrics that blended storytelling with rhythm. His music bridged generations and left an imprint on Ghana’s cultural heritage. His passing serves as a reminder to preserve highlife and honor the pioneers who shaped it.

Olivetheboy Crosses 100 Million Streams

Rising star Olivetheboy has officially crossed the 100 million streams mark on Audiomack. Known for his soulful yet energetic blend of Afrobeats and R&B, Olivetheboy represents the new wave of Ghanaian talent making waves globally through digital platforms.

Streaming success like this shows how Ghanaian music is finding new audiences beyond radio and live shows. It’s a sign that the industry must invest more in digital strategy, playlisting, and international marketing.

Sarkodie’s Rapperholic Show Gets NSA Warning

As Sarkodie prepares for his highly anticipated Rapperholic Concert at Kumasi’s Baba Yara Sports Stadium, the National Sports Authority (NSA) has reportedly issued warnings concerning crowd safety and compliance.

While Sarkodie has reassured fans that his team is working to meet all regulations, the warning highlights how Ghana’s entertainment sector is coming under closer scrutiny. Concert promoters and artists are now expected to prioritize crowd management and logistics as much as stagecraft.

🌍 Global Entertainment Highlights

Netflix’s “KPop Demon Hunters” Breaks Records

Netflix’s animated film KPop Demon Hunters has taken the world by storm, racking up 314.2 million views and 523.6 million watch hours since its release in June 2025. It is now the most-watched English-language film on Netflix to date.

The movie’s fictional soundtrack has also topped the Billboard Hot 100 and Billboard 200, a feat last achieved by Disney’s Encanto. This shows the growing power of genre-blending entertainment — where music, film, and animation come together to create global phenomena.

For Ghanaian and African creatives, this is a lesson in innovation: hybrid content wins big.

Bergeron called it an “honor” to give voice to his friend’s life story. For audiences worldwide, this pairing reflects the value of authenticity and storytelling in entertainment.
