the 16th edition of the biggest music award ceremony was held on Sunday night at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Center in Atlanta.
The award tagged ‘Celebrating African Renaissance’, was to celebrate Afrobeats and African culture. The ceremony had in attendance several African A-list artists from across Africa.
Ayra who won the Best Female Artist Award, isn’t quite pleased with the show organisers despite her win.
Unlike, the Best Male Artist Award and other awards, which were announced on stage; organizers of the Headies award didn’t deem it worthy to announce Ayra Starr as the Best Female Artist of the Year.
Infuriated by their action, she took to the micro-blogging platform to slam them for demeaning female artists.
Using Tiwa Savãge and Tems as examples, Ayra noted how female singers work extremely hard in the industry.
She stated that they don’t deserve such nonchalance and she would never be grateful for winning a category that wasn’t deemed fit to be announced on stage as Nigeria didn’t raise her to settle for less.
“I will never be grateful for winning a category that wasn’t even deemed fit to be announced on stage! Best Female Artist na beans? We work hard, every single one of us! I’ve seen Tiwa record 4 hit songs in the same night. Tems breaths and lives for music, we didn’t deserve such nonchalance! Nigeria, you didn’t raise me to settle for less
