It was hosted live in the Music Room.
The programme was broadcast on TV3, GhOne TV, TV7, EBN TV, Homebase TV, CTV, and online on Facebook and YouTube.

Teflon Flexx emerged the winner, after garnering the largest number of votes.

“We would also like to congratulate Imrana, Gyakie, Kofi Jamar, Sherry Boss and Abochi for running the race. From experience, we know that not winning a contest does not define how far you go in your career. So, keep grinding the wheels of success to the best of your ability,” the statement noted.
