As Ghana steps into the final month of 2025, one name continues to dominate the international reggae/dancehall conversation—Shatta Wale.
The Shatta Movement boss has officially become the only Ghanaian reggae/dancehall artist to win three major international awards this year, cementing his legacy on the global stage.
At this year’s International Reggae and World Music Awards (IRAWMA)—the biggest and most prestigious Jamaican music award scheme held in Florida, USA—Shatta Wale swept the night with an impressive three awards:
Best Music Video – “Killa Ji Mi”
Best Crossover Song – “Commando” ft. Bounty Killer
Best African Dancehall Entertainer
This triple win didn’t just spark celebration among his fans; it also carved Shatta Wale’s name into the history books. With this achievement, he became:
The first African dancehall artist ever to win three awards in one night at the IRAWMA.
The African dancehall artist with the most IRAWMA wins in history—now totaling nine.
His collaborations, bold sound, and relentless work ethic continue to elevate Ghana’s presence in the international music space.
As 2025 draws to a close, Shatta Wale stands tall as a global force—the only Ghanaian reggae/dancehall act with three international awards this year, and a symbol of what persistence, creativity, and authenticity can achieve.
The Shatta Movement has every reason to celebrate.
Africa to the world. Ghana to the map.
Congratulations, Shatta Wale!
