2023 Headies Award Full List Of Winners

Rema, Asake, and Odumodublvck have emerged as big winners at the prestigious 2023 Headies Awards.

The 16th edition of the Headies Awards, a prestigious event in the Nigerian music industry, took place last night at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre in Atlanta, USA.

This year’s theme, “Celebrating African Renaissance,” was evident as the event showcased the continent’s rich musical talent and achievements.

Hosted by Nollywood actress, Osas Ighodaro, and American media personality, Terrence J, the event was a blend of glitz, glamour, and outstanding musical performances. Notable artists like Young Jonn, Wande Coal, Kcee, Black Sherif, and Asake set the stage on fire with their electrifying acts.

Rema bagged three significant awards, including “Best Male Artiste of the Year,” “Digital Artiste of the Year,” and “African Artiste of the Year.” His achievements at the Headies further solidified his position as a leading figure in the African music scene.

Another highlight of the evening was Asake’s win in the “Next Rated” category, which came with the prize of a brand-new car. OdumoduBlvck, on the other hand, was named the “Rookie of the Year,” and was awarded a house in Lagos, a testament to his rising star in the industry.

While many artists and their works were celebrated, there were moments of surprise and slight disappointment.  Notably, neither Blaqbonez nor TG Omori clinched the award for “Best Music Video of the Year,” which went to Director K.

However, Blaqbonez, while accepting his award for “Best Rap Album of the Year,” expressed that he still considered himself and TG Omori as top directors in the industry.

The event also recognized international talents, with Selena Gomez winning the “International Artiste of the Year” award. Furthermore, Black Sherif from Ghana was honored as the “Best West African Artiste of the Year.”
