And the 2022 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards’ Artiste of the Year goes to...KiDi.
The musician, who failed to claim the ultimate spot in 2021 after his famous 'I'll be back' phrase, returned to win his first-ever Artiste of the Year Award.
He beat stiff competition from Black Sherif, King Promise, Kuami Eugene, Sarkodie and Joe Mettle to emerge winner.
KiDi also swept away some of the biggest awards on the night especially with his hit song 'Touch It'.
