Highlife/Afrobeats Artiste KiDi has been crowned the Artiste of the Year at the 2022 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards.
The 28-year-old beat Black Sheriff, King Promise, Kuami Eugene, Sarkodie and Joe Mettle to emerge the topmost winner for the night at the VGMA23.
The Lynx Entertainment Signee has undoubtedly worked harder to claim this feat, last year, he made a statement on stage, ‘I’ll be back’ and indeed he came back with a win.
Delay is not denial.
