The 14th edition of the prestigious The Headies award has come and gone but it will be remembered for a long while as it is the first time it went virtual due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to the organiser of the award ceremony, Ayo Animashaun, it was difficult yet interesting producing the show virtually.

The nominees for the awards were announced in December 2020, with Fireboy DML leading with nine nominations, while Burnaboy, Davido, Wizkid and Wurld followed with six nominations each.

This edition witnessed fast-rising singers like Fireboy DML, Bad Boy Timz and Omah Lay receive their first plaque. The event was hosted by funnyman Bovi and Nancy Isime.
