YBNL’s Fireboy emerged the biggest winner at the 14th Headies awards that was held on Sunday night, going home with four awards — including the ‘Best R&B Single’, ‘Best R&B Album’, ‘Headies revelation’, and ‘Best Pop Album’ categories.
Naija News reports that the Headies 2021 aired from the Eko Hotels and Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos due to COVID-19.
Other winners include Omah Lay, who snagged the ‘Next Rated’ category.
The event was hosted by Bovi, a comedian; and Nancy Isime, an actress.
