“I tell you something. This is the 15th edition of the Headies and I have always been part of the past editions, attending each one and will be glad to be part of it any day, anytime,” AY told Hip TV.
“I mean the world today acknowledges the talent of Burna Boy and Wizkid. If they didn’t take their crafts abroad, they won’t be receiving the global recognition they have today,” AY stated.
