The final list of winners for 2019 Ghana Music Awards

The 2019 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards will go down in history not only as the 20th anniversary edition, but as the most eventful one yet!

With unprecedented events like the scuffle between Stonebwoy and  Shatta Wale on stage, which led to fear and panic, the VGMA board decided to hold back the announcement of the Artiste of the Year and Most Popular Song of the Year.

There were a lot of speculations and predictions as to which of the two embattled musicians would win which of the two awards, but the VGMA Board revealed at their anticipated press conference on Thursday that those awards had been nullified for the year, and in addition, the ones won by both artistes on Saturday were cancelled.

This means the list of winners is now as follows:
