His collaborations with both local and international artists have expanded his influence and solidified his role as one of the pioneers of the Afrobeat movement.
In addition to this prestigious honor, the Afrobeat star’s collaborations, such as the “Ogechi Remix” with Hyce, Boypee, and Brown Joel, have also earned him multiple nominations.
The 17th Headies Awards, held on April 27, 2025, in Lagos, brought together key figures from the Nigerian music industry to celebrate excellence and remarkable achievements in the field.
