Ghanaian singer and songwriter Gyakie has secured three nominations at the Telecel Ghana Music Awards, further cementing her position as one of the country’s leading voices in contemporary music.
The nominations were announced on March 14, 2026, at the La Palm Beach Hotel, where this year’s contenders were unveiled ahead of the main awards ceremony. Gyakie’s recognition spans some of the night’s most competitive categories, reflecting her strong run over the past year.
Her single Sankofa earned a nomination for Best Afropop Song of the Year. She also competes for Best Afrobeats/Afropop Artiste of the Year, going up against some of the scene’s most prominent names. In addition, her debut album After Midnight received a nod for Album/EP of the Year, reflecting the album’s impact since its release.
The TGMA remains one of Ghana’s key music platforms. It celebrates excellence across genres and honors artists who have made significant contributions to the industry. For Gyakie, these nominations mark another milestone in a career that continues to grow both locally and internationally.
Beyond the nominations, Gyakie sparked conversation online. On X (formerly Twitter), she shared a cryptic post that caught fans’ attention.
The statement refers to After Midnight, which reached number one on Apple Music’s Top Albums chart in Ghana. While she did not mention the awards directly, the timing of her post, just after the nominations, led to speculation among fans and observers.
Some see her message as a reminder of her achievements in a space where female artistes often receive less recognition. Others interpret it as a broader commentary on how success is measured and acknowledged in the industry.
Regardless of interpretation, her post adds another layer to ongoing discussions around the awards. Debates about deserving nominees are already common during TGMA season, and Gyakie’s remarks have intensified that conversation.
What is clear is her growing influence. Since breaking onto the scene, Gyakie has blended Afropop, R&B, and highlife into a distinct and accessible sound. Her music resonates with audiences both in Ghana and internationally.
After Midnight has been key to shaping that reputation. The album performed strongly on streaming platforms and reinforced her position as a leading female voice in her generation.
As the awards ceremony approaches, Gyakie’s nominations and recent comments place her in the spotlight. Whether viewed as a quiet assertion of her accomplishments or a subtle critique of the industry, her message emphasizes a larger point: visibility, recognition, and the evolving landscape of Ghanaian music.
