The lights dimmed suddenly. People held their breath. Somewhere in the crowd, someone shouted a name too early. Then silence again.
When the announcement finally came, Kwaku Shai stood frozen for a moment before reality caught up with him. Mentor Season 14 was over and he was the one left standing.
A Finale That Had Everyone Guessing
The final night of TV3 Mentor XIV didn’t follow any easy script. Fans were divided. Some had their hearts set on Ennay. Others believed Aky3de3 had done enough. That tension sat heavy in the room right until the final call.
And that’s what made it good.
By the end of it all, the results were clear:
- Kwaku Shai – Winner
- Ennay (D-Enney) – 1st Runner-Up
- Aky3de3 – 2nd Runner-Up
No boos. Just loud reactions. The kind you only get when people have truly been invested.
The Moment the Crown Dropped
As the spotlight narrowed and focused on him alone, Kwaku Shai was officially crowned champion. Not just with words, but with rewards that could push his career forward.
He walked away with:
- GH₵20,000 cash prize
- A music distribution deal
- GH₵7,000 worth of insurance
- Additional sponsor-backed packages and opportunities
It wasn’t just about money. It was about structure which something many young artists never get.
Judges Who Didn’t Sugarcoat Anything
This season’s judging panel came with experience and strong opinions. Richie Mensah, Kwabena Kwabena, and Okyeame Kwame didn’t always agree, and that honesty shaped the competition.
Sometimes the feedback stung. Sometimes it motivated. But nobody left that stage guessing where they stood.
Hosts, Music, and a Guest Who Lifted the Night
The show flowed smoothly under the hosting of Regina Van Helvert, alongside her co-host Godwin, who kept the energy alive even when tension was high.
Adding extra flavour to the finale was a special guest performance from Kuami Eugene, whose appearance reminded everyone what the Mentor stage can produce when talent meets opportunity.
More Than a TV Show
Mentor Season 14 wasn’t just about vocal ability. It was about pressure, growth, and learning how to stand in front of cameras when everything is on the line.
Ennay’s journey showed consistency and discipline.
Aky3de3’s performances showed raw promise and hunger.
Kwaku Shai showed balance and in the end, that balance won.
As the curtains closed and the applause faded, one thing was obvious: the competition may be over, but the real industry test is just beginning.
For now, though, the crown belongs to Kwaku Shai.
And Mentor Season 14 will be remembered for it.
