The 26th edition of the Telecel Ghana Awards (TGMA) dazzled with its usual blend of glamour, culture, and showbiz flair, and rapper Okyeame Kwame stole the spotlight with a striking Pharaoh-inspired outfit.
Gracing the red carpet in a richly detailed Egyptian regalia fused with traditional Ghanaian Kente, Okyeame Kwame’s look stood out as a bold statement of African pride and identity. The ensemble was a vibrant celebration of heritage and pan-African consciousness.
Speaking about his choice of attire on the red carpet, on Saturday, May 10, he said, “Why Cairo? Because, you know, there’s a new norm. Africa is rising. Africa is kicking against neo-colonialism. And our identity is rising… I decided to remind all of us that we come from royalty. Don’t be in love with it.”
According to the rapper, the outfit took three days to complete. While the designer’s name was not disclosed during the red carpet interview, he lauded the creator’s craftsmanship and called for recognition.
“We need to put the spotlight on the designer as well. And, you know, just give him a round of applause for what he’s done. Very beautiful,” he remarked.
As anticipation built for the night’s performances and award announcements, the “Faithful” hitmaker expressed hopes of winning a few accolades.
“I’m really excited about performances. I also want to know who is going to become Artist of the Year. And then, I want to win maybe one or two awards myself, just for myself,” Okyeame Kwame stated.
