Ghanaian rapper Medikal is already making noise ahead of the Telecel Ghana Music Awards 2026 and this time, he’s not being humble about it.

The “Omo Ada” hitmaker has boldly declared that he deserves to win Artiste of the Year, saying he has done more work than anyone else in the category.

During a recent performance, Medikal told fans straight up he worked harder than every other artiste this year. And honestly, that statement has already sparked serious debate online

A Strong Year for Medikal

Looking at his run this past year, Medikal didn’t slow down at all.

From dropping projects to performing across different stages, he stayed consistent and visible. His songs kept trending, and his fanbase remained active something that always plays a big role when it comes to awards like TGMA.

That consistency is exactly why he believes the crown should be his this year.

But The Competition Is Tough

Let’s be real, this won’t be an easy win.

Medikal is going up against heavy names like:

• Black Sherif

• Stonebwoy

• Sarkodie

• Wendy Shay

• Diana Hamilton

Each of these artistes has also had a solid year, dropping hits and making big moves.

So yeah… this year’s Artiste of the Year race is not something you can predict easily.

Fans Are Divided

Since Medikal made that statement, fans have been going back and forth on social media.

Some agree with him saying his consistency alone deserves the award.

Others feel artistes like Black Sherif or Stonebwoy had a bigger impact.

At this point, it’s all about:

Fan votes

Impact

And industry recognition

Final Thoughts

One thing is clear Medikal is confident, and he’s not afraid to say it.

But will that confidence turn into a win on the big night?

We’ll all find out when TGMA 2026 finally goes down
