TGMA 2025 brings back Group of the Year

The 2025 Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMAs) will see a comeback of the Group of the Year category, as nominees have been published.
After VVIP won it in 2017, Wutah in 2018, Bethel Revival Choir in 2019, DopeNation in 2020, and Keche in 2021, the category was rested in 2022.
“Group of the Year… I think that the year it was rested was because it was no longer competitive hence no category for it. We are not saying it had been scrapped off, but we are resting it until such a time we feel we have enough numbers in the space to compete for it. It is supposed to be competitive,” Robert Klah, the Head of Communications for Charterhouse, organisers of the TGMA, explained on Hitz FM in 2024.

It is odd to note the hitmaking Hiplife machine DopeNation and the vibrant Highlife Funk band FRA! are not nominees.
DJ Slim asked DopeNation on X, "I’m hearing, you guys didn’t file for nominations and when the research team picked up your songs, you guys were not responsive to the award scheme. How true is this?"
In response, DopeNation indicated it was up against some intense opposition but did not want to engage in a no holds barred conversation on the subject.
"We have been battling a lot that can’t be said out of respect for some people in this hypocritical music space. However, can we all recall from 2021? Maybe some of us will know this is not just about awards, Sir. Gradually this industry will be loosing its 'TRUE ARTISTS'," the serial hitmakers said.
