“We didn’t walk the red carpet. We walked the credits.”
— GuiltyBeatz, Grammy-winning producer, 2025
THE HEADLINE NO ONE EXPECTED
Zero Ghanaian nominations.
Seven Ghanaian Grammy certificates.
On 2 February 2025, the 67th Grammy Awards crowned three records that carried Ghanaian DNA in the fine print.
No golden gramophone was handed to a Ghanaian on stage.
But seven Ghanaians walked away Grammy-certified—producers, programmers, engineers, and one DJ who just rewrote history.
Here is the official Ahenfie Drums roll-call—every Ghanaian now etched in the Recording Academy’s winner portal.

THE AHENFIE TAKE
“The Grammy stage is loud. The credits are quiet.
But the certificate? That’s forever.
Ghana didn’t need a nomination to win.
We just needed beats, bass, scratches, and soul—and the world pressed play.”
— Ahenfie Drums Editorial Board
