Ghanaian musician Ahmmed Kanneh Larweh, known as Sparqlyn and formerly of the group Dunsin, has congratulated Shatta Wale after the dancehall star secured two wins at the 43rd International Reggae and World Music Awards in Florida.

Shatta Wale took home Best African Dancehall Entertainer and Concert of the Year for ShattaFest at the May 18, 2025 ceremony. 

The double victory sparked praise across Ghana’s music scene, with Sparqlyn among the first to react publicly.

What stood out for Sparqlyn wasn’t just the win, but the award plaque itself.

 He said the design reminded him of the one Dunsin received over a decade ago at the MUSA Awards, particularly the shape of the upper section. 

The similarity brought back memories of 2013, when Dunsin represented Ghana in Pretoria, South Africa, and won Most Exciting Group in Africa and Most Outstanding African Video. The recognition came off the back of their breakout hit -“Ɔyɛadeɛyie,” which pushed the group beyond Ghana’s borders.

At the time, Sparqlyn, then known as Kele within the group, travelled to South Africa to accept the awards on behalf of Dunsin. 

Seeing Shatta Wale honoured on a similar stage, he said, felt like a full-circle moment for Ghanaian music.
