What about Wizkid?

like for Davido(ọkọ chioma) share for Wizkid

Nothing for Phyno.

Tekno
Burnaboy
Mr. Eazi
Efe
Should better goan apologize to Headies if not their award drought will be like Zee World. EXTRAORDINARY EVERYDAY

So Olamide did not win anything?

Temihatz:
So Olamide did not win anything?

with which song

I thought Air boy will win Rookie of the year. Ayepo was on a repeat on all radio stations. MI won the lyricist on the roll with a song he used to pass a message to all rappers. Hip-hop is dead in Nigeria

Davido just dey reign dey go

Naija shaaa, how does Simi win Album of the year and then another artiste wins Best RnB album when the same album that won best overall is among the nominees for best RnB album.
Is that how they use to do it? Abi they sha wantu compensate wizkid.

Disclaimer: I don't root for any artiste.

I also noticed it, SFTOS beat Simisola in the best R&B/Pop album category!! So if SFTOS is indeed better than Simisola, then how did Simisola win the album of the year category in which SFTOS was also nominated?

2. Phyno's playmaker was nominated for album of the year, yet it lost to El hadj by reminisce in the best Rap album category (The rap album category is not a voting category, the judges picked by themselves!!) So if El hadj by reminisce was the best rap album, how then was Playmaker(Another rap album) nominated for overall best album and El hadj wasn't?

That's why Nigerian awards will continue to remain mediocre, they simply can't apply their common sense to anything they do. Tell me how anyone is supposed to take these awards serious anymore

Wizkid also won three awards but there are two things I can't understand

1. How mad over you didn't win anything
2. How Aramide won best alternative song

Can someone who knows better explain these to me please? Because I am still not understanding it

Like this comment if you think RUNTOWN'S MAD OVER YOU deserved at least an award.

oyoyoyo:
MOST WIN:

Wizlid won 3 award as well

Who else was surprised at omawumi's behavior or misbehavior when she came to collect her prize?

Simi na u carry dem con dis year . Good one girl
