Headies, Nigeria's most prominent music awards show holds
on December 26, 2013 and the nominees have been
announced!
Rapper Olamide tops the list with an alarming nine
nominations, the highest ever received in the history of the
awards show.
It's been a very big year in review for 'Badoo', who recently
released his 'Baddest Guy Ever Liveth' album, a year after he
dropped the critically acclaimed sophomore 'YBNL'. He has been nominated in the 'Best Rap Album', 'Best Rap Single', 'Best Street-Hop Artiste', and six other categories including the most sought after award, 'Artiste of the Year'.
Igbo-lingo rapper Phyno follows closely with seven
nominations. The 'Man of the year' who is yet to release a
debut has flooded the music scene with multiple hits including
the heavy duet 'Ghost mode' with Olamide.
Two other top nominees who'll be fighting for the 'Artiste of
the Year' award are Pop singers Davido
and Iyanya. Both acts received five nods each.
Waje who released her long awaited debut 'Words Aren't Just
Enough' leads the female pack with five nods.
She contends with Seyi Shay, Niyola,
Nikki Laoye and Zaina for the 'Best Vocal
Performance (Female)'.
A new category 'Best Alternative Song' has been added to
this year's list with the likes of Blackmagic, Ajebutter 22,
Jaywon and Show Dem Camp receiving nods.
Organizers of the awards, Smooth Promotions have
announced that veteran musician Onyeka Onwenu will be
inducted into the 'Hall of Fame',
as a 'special recognition for excellence and outstanding
impact to the entertainment industry'.
