With over two decades of impact in the reggae and dancehall circles, Isaac Ago Tetteh Monney affectionately called King Lagazee has for the sixth time won Reggae/Dancehall DJ of The Year at the 10th edition of the Ghana DJ Awards.
The award held at the Silver Star Tower saw King Lagazee outwitting other contemporaries of the coveted crown.
King Lagazee won in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2020, 2021 and 2022 and has been nominated eight times in the scheme.
This becomes his first award from the scheme after joining Asaase Radio this year.
Speaking to The Spectator on the feat chalked, he said, “It’s nothing extraordinary. It’s simply hard work, smart work and staying consistent with the job. Many people don’t put in the works but want to be rewarded for it. It doesn’t work that way.”
King Lagazee added that “it doesn’t mean my other colleagues aren’t or haven’t been working hard enough. The only difference is I step it up higher and better hence the recognition.”
He dedicated the award to his team, as well as unflinching listeners and promised them memorable times laced with captivating programmes ahead.
King Lagazee currently hosts Yaad Settingz on Asaase Radio on Sundays.

Osanju is dead
Popular Ghanaian content creator, Elvis Frimpong, known in showbiz circles as Osanju has been reported dead.
According to sources, he was said to have died in the early hours on Monday, September 1, 2025 after a long battle with blood cancer (Leukemia)
His death has been a shock in the Ghanaian community especially coming shortly after his last post.
His demise comes five months after he had laid his mother, Amounu, also a tiktoker, to rest, having lost her in January.
Hours before his passing, he had posted a video on Sunday with friends watching the Barcelona vs. Rayo Vallecano match, prompting many fans to initially dismiss the reports as a hoax.
Osanju’s death has been described as a huge loss by followers who admired his openness, resilience and positive outlook in the face of ill health.
However, Osanju had previously shared his battle with leukemia, a cancer of the blood, on his TikTok account, even eerily predicting his own demise on a couple of occasions.
