The Headies Awards which held its 14th edition, Sunday, had Fireboy DML clinching five awards to equal Wande Coal and P-Square’s record as the highest number of awards won on a single night.

Also, Fireboy was nominated for nine awards on the night before winning five of them.

The event was hosted by TV personality and actress, Nancy Isime and comedian Bovi. This year’s edition which held at Eko Hotels and Suites marked a shift as the event which holds every December was moved to February.

Davido followed right behind with seven nominations each, while Burna Boy, the previous Artiste of the Year, secured six nominations.

In a forward-looking move, this year also saw the Headies include Songwriter of the Year.

With performances from DJ Neptune, Fireboy, and The Cavemen, viewers were treated to a good time. Omah Lay carted home the “Next Rated” award.
