Aidonia Climbs the Billboard Chart, Secures Two IRAWMA 2026 Nominations and Announces Slate of Tour Dates

Aidonia’s global momentum is building steadily in 2026, as the dancehall heavyweight combines chart success, award recognition and an expanding international tour into one of the most ambitious campaigns of his career.

The 4th Genna head honcho is currently climbing the Billboard Rhythmic Airplay chart with Boom Body, his high-energy collaboration with Shaggy and Akon, which has risen to No. 28 after debuting at No. 36 earlier this year. The milestone marks Aidonia’s first-ever appearance on the chart and arrives alongside two nominations at the International Reggae and World Music Awards (IRAWMA), where he is recognised for Best Dancehall Stagecraft Entertainer and Best R&B/Hip Hop Collaboration Reggae Song. Together, the achievements signal a renewed global push for the deejay as his crossover visibility continues to grow.

That momentum is now extending to the live circuit. Aidonia has rolled out a slate of 2026 performances across key diaspora markets, beginning in Philadelphia before moving through major U.S. stops and regional Caribbean events, including a hometown celebration in St. Ann, Jamaica. The run will also take him to the Cayman Islands and the UK, where he is set to perform in London at the highly anticipated City Splash Festival—marking a notable return to the British stage as demand for dancehall continues to surge among younger audiences.

Released through VP Records and Ranch Entertainment, Boom Body has also been gaining strong digital traction, with its Miami–Kingston-shot visuals surpassing millions of views on YouTube. Produced by Shaggy alongside Costantine “Costi Fortzaa” Ionita, the track blends polished crossover production with Aidonia’s signature lyrical sharpness, creating a sound tailored for both Caribbean and international playlists. His upcoming City Splash appearance alongside Elephant Man further reinforces the scale of this global rollout, as the veteran deejay celebrates more than two decades in dancehall while stepping into a fresh commercial chapter.
