The music awards show known for outstanding achievements in the music industry, just concluded its 15th edition which was held at Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre in Atlanta, Georgia.
Headies stepped up their game this year by presenting a 2022 Bentley Bentaya SUV. The award show comprised of 25 award categories. Winners included; Fave, Davido, Adekunle Gold, Ayra Starr,Sarz, Patoranking, Fireboy,Diamond Platinmuz, Angelique Kidjo, Oxlade, Gyakie, Tems, Waje, Wizkid, Burna Boy, Ladipoe, Flavour, Olamide and many more.

Burna Boy: African Artiste of the Year Davido: Humanitarian Award of the Year and Digital Artiste of the Year.
Ayra Starr: Headies Viewer’s Choice TG Omori: Best Music Video Director Chris Brown: International Artiste Recognition.
The one we have all been waiting for, who won the Bentley Bentaya?? The Next Rated Award was a tough one as its contenders were Ayra Starr, BNXN, Lojay, Ruger and Zinoleesky. But at the end, BNXN won the award as he was seen by his fans to be more deserving.
In general, the Headies tried their best in recognizing real talents and giving them their flowers. I feel they did a good job though the industry still has quite a lot of work to do as regards organizations.
I have few questions to ask and I would appreciate comments to express your opinions. Did you watch the Headies? What do you think about their performance this year? And what do you think about the Nigerian music award industry in general?
