Dancehall legend Shatta Wale has once again raised the Ghanaian flag high after sweeping three major international awards at the 42nd International Reggae and World Music Awards (IRAWMA) 2025, held in the United States.
The multiple wins make Shatta Wale the most decorated Ghanaian artist internationally in 2025, a milestone that has sparked pride and excitement among fans across Africa.
At the prestigious IRAWMA ceremony, Shatta Wale clinched three massive titles:
These wins solidify his place as one of Africa’s strongest voices in the global reggae and dancehall scene — a space long dominated by Jamaican artists.
Taking to social media after the event, Shatta Wale thanked his loyal fans — the Shatta Movement — for their unwavering support:
“This is for Ghana, for Africa, and for every hustler who believes in their dream. We are taking our sound to the world!” – Shatta Wale
His post quickly went viral, with fans celebrating his achievement using hashtags like #ShattaToTheWorld, #IRAWMA2025, and #ShattaMovementForever.
With these international victories, Shatta Wale becomes the only Ghanaian artist so far in 2025 to claim multiple international awards.
Music analysts say his recognition at IRAWMA reflects the growing global respect for Ghana’s unique sound — a fusion of Afrobeat, Dancehall, and Reggae influences that continues to capture worldwide attention.
His success also comes just weeks after his song “Street Crown” was accepted for Grammy consideration, proving 2025 is shaping up to be his biggest year yet.
Fans are eagerly awaiting Shatta Wale’s upcoming projects and international collaborations hinted to drop later this year. With his name now etched among the greats of African music, one thing is clear — Shatta Wale’s reign is far from over.
