“So Headies wants to hand over 9 awards to Wizkid ???? in one night? GOAT (Greatest of all times) level,” @sir_momoraji tweeted.
Another singer who raked in multiple nominations was Mavin Record’s, Ayra Starr.
The forthcoming award ceremony, set to hold in the United States, had in its nomination list, some first-timers like Portable, Magixx, and other fast-rising artists.
