Tap Tap Send to headline GMA-USA 2022
Organisers of Ghana Music Awards-USA have announced money sending vendor platform, Tap Tap Send as its headline sponsor of this year’s event.
Last year the scheme secured a deal with Angel Group of Companies, producers of Adonko products and Next Level Energy Drinks.
In an interview with the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Dennis Boafo, also known as Don D in the entertainment circles, he said “we are proud of ourselves and very happy to know that companies see our effort towards promoting the Ghanaian Culture, Heritage and Music in the diaspora. I can say on authority that, through GMA-USA last year, Adonko gained prominence in America.”
Tap Tap Send is a no-fee money sending vendor based in some European countries, Asia and America. It is an app based platform that allows one to send money to family and friends in Africa.
According to him, he strongly believes their sponsorship this year will help the scheme change the narrative when it comes to awards in the diaspora.
“We need companies like this to invest in Ghanaian-owned businesses in the diaspora in order to project and promote our culture and heritage to the whole world,” he said.
This Year’s GMA-USA Nominees Announcement will come off at The Grand Roosevelt Ballroom on 2 Hudson Street, Yonkers, New York on April 16,2022.
The event will see Ghanaian artistes in the diaspora and others from Ghana thrill patrons in a glamorous and classy style.
The main event is slated for August 20, 2022, at a venue, which would be announced during the Nominees Announcement

Renowned Ghanaian music heavyweight, Empress Gifty, has dedicated her seven awards won in 2025 to President John Dramani Mahama.
The musician and her management, led by Edem Mensah-Tsotorme, together with her husband, Mr Hopeson Adorye, called on the President at the Jubilee House on Thursday, October 9, 2025.
Empress Gifty, in her remarks, said the visit was to officially congratulate the President, who has been a father figure for her for many years, and also update him on successes chalked in her career.
She thanked the President for his guidance over the years and promised to even do better in the years ahead, as she prepares to release her new song for the year.
The gospel musician also appealed to President Mahama to consider building a large seating auditorium for the creative arts industry.
She appealed to the President for a 10,000 to 30,000 large seating auditorium to improve the fortunes of the creative sector when it comes to events in the country.
This, she said, would go a long way to help the sector flourish and position the country for other international events in the future.
Additionally, she urged the President to ensure the creative sector gets substantial allocation in the next budget.
The President, on his part, thanked Empress Gifty, who he calls his daughter, and the team for the visit, expressing how proud he was of her growth.
Again, he charged her to continuously work even harder for more laurels.
President Mahama pledged his commitment to the growth of the creative arts industry, adding that with regard to a large seating auditorium for the space, he has received some designs and suggestions for a convention centre which are under consideration.
According to him, once suggestions were approved and issues of funding are addressed, this would serve a multipurpose function and host many activities throughout the year.
The President further pledged his unflinching support for the creative arts sector and assured of budgetary support in the years ahead.
