America’s Got Talent Winners: Fantasy League Crowns Its First Winner!

America’s Got Talent Winners: The Top 5 finalists were selected as dancer Musa Motha, choir Sainted, dance/acrobatic group V. Unbeatable, percussion group Pack Drumline, and hand/head-balancing group The Ramadhani Brothers after a thorough selection process.

The inaugural season of America’s Got Talent: Fantasy League has concluded with the announcement of its winner! Following weeks of intense competition, The Ramadhani Brothers from Team Howie Mandel emerged victorious on Monday night.

Fadhili Ramadhani and Ibrahim Jobu, the talented brothers, outshined the other nine finalists, including two from Howie’s team and the remaining contestants from judges Simon Cowell, Mel B, and Heidi Klum’s teams. Their exceptional skills and performances earned them the highly sought-after title.

In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Fadhili expressed his indescribable joy at winning AGT: Fantasy League. He shared, “Winning this competition is an incredible feeling! We have participated in various Got Talent competitions worldwide and have made it to the finals every time, but never secured the top spot. Defeating previous AGT winners and some of the most exceptional acts on the planet has truly elevated our reputation.”

Originally hailing from Tanzania, the Ramadhani Brothers made their debut on AGT during the 18th season in 2023. Despite their awe-inspiring acts, they finished in fifth place. However, Heidi recognized their immense talent and drafted them onto her Fantasy League team. Following their outstanding performance in the qualifiers, Howie couldn’t resist using his Golden Buzzer to snatch the brothers and secure their spot in the finale.

During Monday’s finale, notable performances were delivered by Calum Scott, Robin S., Sheila E., and Steven Sanchez. The stage also saw the return of fellow AGT: Fantasy League competitors Drake Milligan, Chapel Hart, Loren Allred, and Brian Justin Crum, who showcased their talents alongside Olympic Gold Medalist David Taylor, creating unforgettable moments with each of the finalists.

The moment of truth arrived as host Terry Crews took the stage to announce the winner of the competition, a decision that was determined by the votes of the studio audience.

After carefully narrowing down the acts to the Top 5, Terry began the process of elimination. Dancer Musa Motha, representing Simon’s team, claimed the fifth-place spot, followed by Sainted, the powerful choir from Team Simon, in fourth place.

In third place, the dance/acrobatic group V. Unbeatable, competing on Team Heidi, showcased their incredible skills. The second-place position was claimed by the percussion group Pack Drumline, also from Simon’s team.

Finally, the moment arrived when the Top 2 acts were revealed. Ibrahim, one of the brothers from the winning act, reflected on their mindset, stating, “We gave it our all, leaving the outcome in God’s hands. However, we were confident in our chances of winning because of our thorough preparation. We didn’t want to settle for fifth place like we did in AGT season 18.”

Terry then confirmed the victory of the brothers, Fadhili and Ibrahim, who were overjoyed and embraced each other tightly, celebrating their significant achievement together.

Expressing their gratitude, they said, “We are extremely happy, thank you all so much. This is truly incredible.” Coach Howie joined them on stage and commended their performance, stating, “I am immensely proud of you. Your act is not only daring and inspiring but also deserving of recognition. You are true superstars, known worldwide!”

Apart from winning the first Fantasy League trophy, the Ramadhani Brothers were awarded a grand prize of $250,000.

Ibrahim shared their plans, saying, “We intend to enhance our acrobatic training facility in Tanzania and invest in more equipment. We also aim to support fellow acrobats in our community to improve their livelihoods. Additionally, we hope to purchase land and build our own homes.”

Fadhili attributes their success in winning to Howie, along with their coach and manager Winston Ruddle.

Fadhili expressed gratitude towards Mr. Howie Mandel for pressing the golden buzzer during their AGT: Fantasy League auditions, allowing them to bypass the semifinals and gain extra preparation time for the finals. He also acknowledged the valuable advice received from Mr. Mandel throughout the journey. However, Fadhili emphasized that credit should also be given to their acrobatic coach and manager, Mr. Winston Ruddle, for the countless hours of preparation in Tanzania, pushing them to constantly improve.

The siblings also express a mix of emotions in winning without Heidi, who first picked them for her fantasy team.

Fadhili expresses, “It was a little melancholic to win without Heidi, but I am confident that she is proud of our achievement.” He further adds, “Heidi supported us wholeheartedly since the beginning of AGT season 18 auditions, and we have immense love and respect for her. Not only is she the most easygoing judge, but she also possesses an incredible personality.

From our very first audition on AGT season 18, she has shown us immense kindness. We still cherish the memories of taking pictures with her after our AGT audition. It would have been wonderful to win alongside her because she had faith in us and selected us for her Fantasy League team, which truly set things in motion.”

Ibrahim shared with PEOPLE their plans to take their act to Las Vegas alongside their acrobatic coach. “Our ultimate goal has always been to headline a show in Las Vegas. We aspire to see our names on billboards one day,” Ibrahim expressed.

Reflecting on their journey on AGT, they cherish the memories dearly.

“The most rewarding part of this journey is being able to proudly say that we have achieved our dreams. We are truly the world’s best!” Fadhili enthusiastically remarked.

Version 1: Ibrahim informed PEOPLE about their intention to relocate their performance to Las Vegas with their acrobatic coach. “Our longstanding aspiration has been to be the main act in Las Vegas. We anticipate the day when our names will be displayed on billboards,” Ibrahim stated.

Looking back on their time on AGT, they remember it with great fondness.

“The most gratifying aspect of this journey is being able to confidently declare that we have succeeded. We are undoubtedly the best in the world!” Fadhili exclaimed.
