The 14th edition of the prestigious The Headies award has come and gone but it will be remembered for a long while as it is the first time it went virtual due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to the organiser of the award ceremony, Ayo Animashaun, it was difficult yet interesting producing the show virtually.
This edition witnessed fast-rising singers like Fireboy DML, Bad Boy Tims and Omah Lay receive their first plaque.
