#TheHeadies2016: Wizkid, Mr. Eazi, Patoranking, Others Win |Full List of Winners

By Ebenezer Donkoh

2016 has indeed been a Starboy season.

The 11th edition of the Headies came off in Nigeria as expected and there were quite a number of surprises as Kcee and Harry Song mounted the stage to present an award together despite their “beef”.

The awards show hosted by musician cum comedian Falz TheBahdGuy and actress Adesuwa Etomi saw great and memorable performances from Daddy Showkey, Eedris Abdulkareem, Jazzman Olofin, Adewale Ayuba, Seyi Shay, Humble Smith and many others.

The show also saw a number of challenges as it looked not well rehearsed. Aside the poor video watched by many on TV, the event lacked fluidity, with poor direction, terrible sound among others.

The biggest highlight on the night was the appearance of Wizkid and the announcement of Mr. Eazi as the Next Rated.

Check out the list of winners from below. Winners written in bold.
