Yo Wazzup Ma People! (I apologize, Initial hype lol)
The Headies Awards for excellence in Nigerian Music were held last night and broadcast live on HipTv. The award was meant to be held last year, hence the 2015 Tag, but was postponed till New Years Day. It was an interesting event, the highlight of which was the epic Olamide x Don Jazzy face off which I have another entire post about (feel free to read it next).
