FULL LIST OF WINNERS – 15TH HEADIES AWARDS.

One of the most notable events in the Nigerian music calendar, The Headies Awards, came on at the Cobb Energy Centre, Atlanta, U.S.A, on the 4th of September, 2022.

Prior to the 15th edition of the event, there was a lot of conversation over who was going to win one of the most coveted categories of the night, ‘NEXT RATED,’ with singers BNXN and Ruger being strong contenders; as a result of their ongoing Twitter feud.

The event was very seamless, with Wizkid being the artist with the most awards that night. Other African music superstars such as Gyakie, Angelique Kidjo, Diamond Platinumz and Focalistic also turned up as winners.

Check out the full list of winners below.
