AFRIMA 2018: Stonebwoy wins Best Reggae/Dancehall Artiste of the Year award

Ghanaian Reggae/Dancehall artiste, Stonebwoy made Ghana proud at 2018 All Africans Music Awards (AFRIMA) by winning the Best Reggae/Dancehall Artiste of the Year award, beating his arch-rival, Shatta Wale, Nigeria’s Patoranking, Burna Boy and the likes.

The BhimNation boss, Stonebwoy winning this award isn’t surprising looking at the kind of quality Reggae/Dancehall tunes he has produced over the years.

He showed his appreciation to organisers for honouring him with such a prestigious award not forgetting a shout out to his biggest rival, Shatta Wale and all the nominees in that category.

The 2018 AFRIMA was held for the first time in Ghana at the Accra International Conference Centre (AICC) yesterday, Saturday, November 24, 2018.
