The VGMA23 winners list was topped by a relieved KiDi as the awards main event came off Saturday night at the Grand Arena in Accra.
The Touch It hitmaker was humiliated a year ago when he stormed out of the venue after gospel singer Diana Hamilton beat him to the coveted main award.
He bounced back this year to win the Artiste of the Year at the 23rd edition of the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards.
Aside KiDi, Black Sherif, Kofi Kinaata and others all won awards on the second night of the show.
The first night of winners at VGMA23 included Fameye, who beat Kofi Kinaata to Songwriter of the Year.
