For the second time in a row, The Headies Award took place in Atlanta, Georgia, on the 3rd of September, 2023.

The Headies has always had a place in our hearts since it began in 2006, it’s been on a journey since then, and has come a long way.

The Headies has played a huge role in documenting some of the biggest achievements in the Nigerian music industry, it has a way of celebrating Artistes and giving them the recognition they deserve, and it has stood the test of time, making it one of the biggest award winning prizes in the Nigerian music industry.

There were so many winners at this year’s Headies Award, the names that stand out this year would be Rema and Asake. Rema was the biggest winner as he bagged three awards, and then proceeded to give a speech that could only be described as legendary.
