🇬🇭 GHANA’S GRAMMY FOOTPRINT 2025

Ahenfie Drums Media • 09 November 2025

“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.

1. BEST AFRICAN MUSIC PERFORMANCE

WINNER: “Love Me JeJe” – Tems

(Atlantic Records / Since ’93)

2. BEST GLOBAL MUSIC ALBUM

WINNER: “Alkebulan II” – Matt B & Royal Philharmonic Orchestra

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
