Rema, Asake, others win big at 2023 Headies Awards [Full List]


 

The 16th Headies Awards was held at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre in Atlanta, USA, on Sunday amid pomp and pageantry.

The event, tagged “Celebrating African Renaissance,” was hosted by Nollywood actress, Osas Ighodaro and American media personality, Terrence J.

Odumodublvck, Young Jonn, Wande Coal, Kcee, Black Sherif, Asake and others thrilled the audience with electrifying performances.

Rema won the Best Male Artiste of the Year award, while Asake walked home with a brand new car after winning the highly coveted Next Rated category.

Similarly, Odumodublvck won a house in Lagos after he was named the Rookie of the Year.

After all the back and forth on social media, neither Blaqbonez nor TG Omori got the award for Best Music Video of the Year; Director K won the category.

While receiving his award for the Best Rap Album of the Year, which he won for ‘The Young Preacher’, Blaqbonez insisted that “TG Omori and I are still the best directors.”

However, the co-host, actress Osas Ighodaro, announced midway into the show that the ceremony had come to an end, with about 13 categories yet to be presented.

The categories that weren’t presented at the ceremony include Best Female Artiste, Best Recording of The Year, Songwriter of The Year, Best RnB Single, Best Vocal Performance (Female), Headies Viewers’ Choice, Best East African Artiste of the Year, and Best North African Artiste of The Year.

Others are Best Southern African Artiste of The Year, Best Central African Artiste of The Year, International Artiste Of The Year, Best Alternative Album, and Best RnB Album.

The organisers later announced the winners of the categories that weren’t presented via social media, with Ayra Starr winning the Best Female Artiste award, Victony winning the Best Recording of the Year, and Chike’s ‘The Brother’s Keeper’ won Best R&B Album of the Year.

With the announcement of the winners of the remaining categories, Burna Boy now ties Rema for the most wins (three awards each).
