DJ Black of Joy FM is the other Ghanaian DJ on the list, making Ghana stand tall with the highest number of winners on the show.
The other top celebrity radio DJ’s on the list include DJ Ike from Nigeria who topped the list, DJ Fresh from the Republic of South Africa, Gaetano from Kenya, Toolz from Nigeria, Fareed from Kenya, Owen Rampa from Botswana and Chishala Chotishi from Zambia.
