Headies snubs Wizkid and Portable in The Headies 2023 Nominees list

Wizkid Ayo Balogun has over the years been a regular awardee at the Headies. There seems to be a twist in turn this year, as his name was omitted on the list. Okiki Omoolalomi Portable who has also been known for calling out The Headies Last year for disqualifying him from the Street Hop Artist of The Year category has also been snubbed once again this year.

The Headies, Nigeria’s most prestigious music award show, released the much anticipated nominations list for its 16th edition on Wednesday.

The list features an array of both local and international artists that have been recognised for their contribution to the music scene in the past year.

Notably, Damini Ogulu, a Grammy award-winner popularly known as Burna Boy, received the most nods on the list with a total of 11 nominations.

He also battles for the Album of the Year with Davido, Rema, Asake, Omah Lay and Victony.

This year’s award will also recognise international artistes who have made their mark in the Nigerian music industry. The nominees for the 2023 International Artiste of the Year Category include Drake, Future, Selena Gomez, Don Toliver and Ed Sheeran.
