Afro-pop has gone beyond the borders of Nigeria this past year, and Africa’s longest-running award show, The Headies, is celebrating artistes and their achievements through their award show.
The Headies have nominated top songs for the Best Afrobeats Single Of The Year category. The following songs were selected for the category.
Bloody Samaritan by Ayra Starr; Bounce by Ruger; High by Adekunle Gold ft Davido; Monalisa by Lojay ft Sarz; Ozumba Mbadiwe by Reekado Banks and Peru by Fireboy DML.
The 2022 Headies will be held at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre, Atlanta, in September 2022.
It will be the first time the Headies, usually held in Lagos, will take place outside Nigeria since it was founded in 2006 by media entrepreneur Ayo Animashaun.
