Speaking exclusively to Briefly News regarding his win, Emtee shared that he is very grateful and honoured to have won this award, especially because of his recent project, DIY3.

He said:

"It feels great man, you know, like that belief and sigh of relief, and winning this award with the album everybody has been anticipating for the longest time and I also believe that it was meant to be looking at the hours I have put in with this album and I can safely say I am enjoying the fruits of my labour."

South African Gospel star Xolly Mncwango, who also won two awards at the Metro FM Music Awards 2025, shared with Briefly News how happy she was with her wins.

She said:

"I did not see this coming. I didn't think I’d win Best Female Artist, it was a surprise to me. The awards represent the recognition of my hard work, dedication, and passion for sharing the Gospel through music. But more than that, they serve as a reminder of God's faithfulness, grace, and favour in my life. I pray that these awards will continue to inspire and uplift others to go the extra mile."
