Shatta Wale Sweeps 3 Awards at the 42nd IRAWMA

Ghana’s dancehall icon Shatta Wale has once again cemented his legacy as the nation’s most decorated artist, sweeping three prestigious awards at the 42nd International Reggae & World Music Awards (IRAWMA) in Florida, USA.

The self-proclaimed “Dancehall King” took home honors for:

• Best African Dancehall Entertainer
• Best Music Video (“Killa Ji Mi”)
• Best Crossover Song (“Commando” ft. Bounty Killer)

With these victories, Shatta Wale’s IRAWMA tally now stands at an unprecedented nine awards—the most by any Ghanaian or African artist in the ceremony’s history. This latest triumph reinforces his dominance in African dancehall and his global crossover appeal.

“This is for the fans and the culture,” said Shatta Wale. “We keep proving Ghanaian music belongs on the world stage. More blessings coming!”

Since bursting onto the scene, Shatta Wale has redefined Ghanaian dancehall with hits like “Taking Over,” “My Level,” and “Melissa.” His IRAWMA streak—including past wins for Artist of the Year and Best African Entertainer—highlights his relentless innovation and influence.
