For the second year in a row, the 16th Headies Award was held in Atlanta, Georgia on Sunday, September 3, 2023.

Since its debut in 2006, the Headies has played a significant role in documenting the advancements made in the Nigerian music business through its award, which has now become the most prestigious honor in Nigerian music.

Rema, a Mavin artist, was the top winner of the night, taking home three awards. His statement about the renaissance of Nigerian music was also a highlight of the evening.
