The Headies 2016 awards may have come and gone but people haven't stopped talking about it and unfortunately they may not for a very long time. This year's awards,in all its 11 years, witnessed the lowest turnout of celebrities and guests.
Though the award wasn't was everyone anticipated,it had a few memorable highlights some of which included the performances of pioneer artists in the Nigerian music industry like Daddy Showkey, Eddy Remedy, Idris Abdulkareem,Tony Tetuila, Ras Kimono, Jazzman Oloffin and even Fuji star Adewale Ayuba and a host of others.
Just like last year's awards where Olamide pulled a major stunt,this year's show wasn't any different either as Starboy's Wizkid pulled a stunt of his own. He made his way through the VIP section,saying hello to fellow artists and then moved in for a hug with Eva Alordiah,purposely snubbing her Fiance who was already extending his arms for a hug. That whole incident was caught live on camera and it couldn't just be ignored.
Admist all these,some stars were absent from this years award and their absence was really noticed. Stars like Olamide(who bagged two awards), Simi, Mavins crew, Yemi Alade, Lil Kesh, Tekno and a host of others.
Permit me to say but I think this years awards was the worst award ever in the history of Headies Awards in Nigeria. On a lighter note,here are the list of this year's winners in no particular order:
