Dancehall artiste, Stonebwoy claimed the coveted Artist of the Year award at the just-ended 3Music Awards ceremony held in Accra over the weekend.
This follows his impressive performance at the 2024 Telecel Ghana Music Awards months ago, where he won seven trophies, including the top honour for the second time.
The winners of this year’s awards aside Stonebwoy were Black Sherif and OliveTheBoy as well as King Promise and KiDi. Stonebwoy also took home the Reggae/ Dancehall Act of the Year and Album of the Year awards.
