“I wasn’t hearing anything” – Fameye recounts technical glitches at 2025 TGMA

Ghanaian highlife artiste Fameye has expressed his displeasure over technical issues that affected his performance at the 2025 Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA).

Speaking on Hitz FM’s Daybreak Hitz with Kwame Dadzie, Fameye said the challenges on the night limited what could have been a near-flawless delivery.

“I had setbacks that, if not for those reasons, I would have been the number one performer that night. Because we had a preset and it was supposed to be played that day.

What I was hearing in my voice was supposed to have been different from what the audience was hearing. And here comes the case, nothing was played. I was waiting for my in-ear to play the sound. I wasn’t hearing anything, my in-ear wasn’t playing. Even my band, they could not hear. So they had to start before I joined them to sing, and because I wasn’t hearing them, you saw me take off the in-ear and I was struggling to hear what was playing from the monitors,” he explained.

Fameye, who won Highlife Artiste of the Year, added that he was hoping to win more awards on the night but he appreciated what he got because it was iconic.

The 25th edition of the Telecel Ghana Music Awards took place on 10th May 2025 at the Grand Arena in Accra.
