Bulldog: Black Sherif will win TGMA 2026 Artiste of the Year hands down

Renowned artiste manager, Bulldog, has confidently predicted that Black Sherif will be crowned Artiste of the Year at the 2026 edition of the Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA).

Speaking on UTV’s United Showbiz, Bulldog asserted that Black Sherif's hard work and consistency over the year will make him an undisputed winner, leaving no room for competition.

“For the year under review, no artiste comes close to Black Sherif. He’s done the work, and next year is his year. You people should record me and keep this for the record — he’s taking Artiste of the Year.”

He added that artistes who were in contention for this year’s award but lost  and are hoping to win next year should reconsider their expectations.

Taking a swipe at current contender Stonebwoy, Bulldog suggested it may take a while before the Dancehall star reclaims the top honour.

He argued that the rising generation of artistes, including Black Sherif, are setting a new pace with their dedication and output.

“Even for Stonebwoy, it will be some time before he gets the award again. The young ones are really putting in the work,” he said.

Bulldog further claimed that Stonebwoy knew he was not going to win this year’s Artiste of the Year title, despite efforts by his PR team to boost public confidence.

“The person they were campaigning against is very spiritual — he already knew the outcome. Stonebwoy may have had some hope from his PR, but the signs were clear. He lost this year and will continue to lose in the years to come.”
