In what promises to be one of the most prestigious events of the year, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State and globally celebrated philanthropist and entertainment mogul Chukwuemeka Duran Uzor, famously known as DMA, will be among the distinguished honorees at the upcoming Golden Stars Award 2025.

The event, which seeks to recognize leaders whose influence spans governance, business, entertainment, and humanitarian impact*, is set to spotlight both men for their outstanding contributions to society each in his own lane, yet united by a shared commitment to uplifting lives.

Alongside Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the spotlight will shine brightly on DMA, a multi-talented producer, songwriter, and founder of DMA Global Entertainment. Born in Lagos on June 3rd and hailing from Umuchioma, Mbano LGA, Imo State, DMA has risen from humble beginnings in the music industry to become a world-renowned humanitarian and business tycoon.

His journey began with fellow musicians Jude Agubata and the late Solomon Ejikeme, and his hit track “Mufasa” marked the turning point in a career that would transcend music. However, it is his philanthropic footprint that truly sets him apart.

From sponsoring orphans and supporting education initiatives in Nigeria, to funding community programs in Europe and empowering underprivileged youths in the United States, DMA has become a beacon of hope for many. His work reflects a deep belief that success must be used as a tool to impact humanity positively across borders.

At this year’s Golden Stars Award, DMA will receive three top honors:

1. Humanitarian Icon of the Year

2. Business Tycoon of the Year

3. Most Supportive Record Label of the Year (for his company, DMA Global Ent.)

These accolades are a testament not only to his business acumen but to his relentless commitment to building people, nurturing talents, and restoring hope to the less privileged around the world.

As the world prepares for the Golden Stars Award 2025, the recognition of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and DMA serves as a powerful reminder that leadership and influence go beyond titles — they are about service, sacrifice, and a deep-rooted desire to leave the world better than one found it.

Whether it’s through public policy or global philanthropy, these two trailblazers are writing a story of impact that will inspire generations to come.

Their upcoming honors are more than ceremonial, they are well-deserved acknowledgments of two men who have turned vision into action and success into service.
