Music’s biggest night in Nigeria went down a few minutes ago in the metropolitan city of Lagos…and of course, it was super fun.

On boxing day, Thursday 26th December 2013, the black carpet was rolled out at the Oriental Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos for the biggest names in the Nigerian entertainment industry for The Headies 2013.

Hosted by Mavin Records artiste Tiwa Savage and Dr Sid, awards were presented to a selected few who simply ruled the music charts and had us swaying in all directions to their songs.

Olamide was the king of the night; picking up 3 awards for himself plus an award for collaborating with Phyno on Ghost Mode. Afro pop star Sean Tizzle won the Next Rated award which came with a Hyundai Tucson SUV.

Omo Baba Olowo Davido bagged the Hip Hop World Revelation of the year award and Best R&B/Pop Album.

Rocking the stage were Iyanya, Waje, Olamide, Phyno, Praiz, Seyi Shay, Niyola, Zaina and Yemi Alade.
