Sista Afia Endorses Wendy Shay for TGMA AOTY
Ghanaian musician Sista Afia has publicly endorsed fellow artiste Wendy Shay for the top prize at the upcoming Telecel Ghana Music Awards.
In a Facebook post, Sista Afia expressed her support for Wendy Shay in the prestigious Artiste of the Year category, writing simply, “Wendy Shay for AOTY.” The statement has since generated widespread reactions from fans and industry observers.
The endorsement comes after the awards board announced nominees on Saturday, March 14, with Wendy Shay securing seven nominations, including Artiste of the Year. She will compete against strong contenders such as Sarkodie, Stonebwoy, Diana Hamilton, Black Sherif, and Medikal.
Following Sista Afia’s post, many fans commended her for showing solidarity within the music industry, particularly among female artistes. Social media users described the gesture as a positive example of unity and mutual encouragement in a competitive field.
Wendy Shay responded to the show of support with appreciation, commenting, “Aww m’afia,” in reference to Sista Afia’s affectionate gesture.
Industry analysts say the public endorsement adds momentum to the excitement surrounding this year’s awards, as voting has officially opened to the public. Fans are now casting their votes for their favourite artistes and songs ahead of the ceremony scheduled for May 9, 2026.
The TGMA 2026 is expected to be highly competitive, with several top performers vying for major honours. However, moments such as Sista Afia’s endorsement highlight the growing camaraderie among Ghanaian musicians as they continue to push the country’s music scene forward both locally and internationally.
As the countdown to the awards continues, attention remains focused on how public voting and industry support will shape the final outcome of the night’s biggest categories.
