Ghanaian Afrobeats sensation King Promise
Ghanaian Afrobeats sensation King Promise delivered an emotional speech reflecting on his journey in the music industry after being crowned Artiste of the Year at the 2025 Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMAs).
Taking the stage to accept the night’s most coveted award, King Promise described his rise as a testament to resilience and perseverance.
Recalling previous years in the industry, he shared a humbling experience where he received seven nominations but went home empty-handed.
“I just want to say a big thank you to the best fans in the world. If anyone is watching me right now have a dream, use me as an example of resilience. When I broke out on the scene, I had seven nominations and I left with zero.
“While some people laughed, I just worked harder because I believe in God’s timing. Today I am the chosen one,” he said.
He also expressed gratitude to his family for their unwavering support throughout his journey.
King Promise dedicated part of his speech to his parents, particularly his mother, in honour of Mother’s Day.
“I want to say thank you to my parents and siblings. I’m so proud that on a day like this, I get to spend it with my family. Mommy, thank you for believing in me. You never stopped me when I started making music while still in school,” he added.
In addition to the ‘Artiste of the Year’ award, King Promise also took home ‘Best Afropop Song of the Year’ and ‘Best Afrobeat/Afropop Artiste of the Year’, solidifying his place as one of Ghana’s leading afrobeat icons.
