Wizkid Makes History: How the Afrobeats Icon Became the Most Awarded Headies Artist Ever.

Wizkid, born Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun, stands as one of Nigeria’s most influential Afrobeats artists, with a record-breaking 18 Headies Awards to his name — the highest ever won by a single artist in the history of the prestigious Nigerian music awards.
From his breakout hit “Holla at Your Boy” to globally celebrated projects like Made in Lagos, Wizkid has consistently pushed Afrobeats beyond African borders. His music blends Afrobeat rhythms, R&B, and pop, earning him massive international recognition and collaborations with global stars such as Drake, Beyoncé, and Justin Bieber.
The Headies Awards, often described as Nigeria’s version of the Grammys, celebrate excellence in the country’s music industry. Wizkid’s record 18 wins highlight not just longevity, but dominance — spanning categories like Artist of the Year, Song of the Year, Album of the Year, and Best R&B/Pop Album.

Beyond awards, Wizkid has played a major role in shaping modern Afrobeats, opening doors for younger artists and helping Nigerian music gain mainstream acceptance worldwide. His sold-out global tours, chart-topping singles, and cultural influence continue to position him as a global music powerhouse.
As Afrobeats grows into a worldwide movement, Wizkid’s legacy remains unmatched — not just as a hitmaker, but as a trailblazer who changed the sound and perception of African music forever.
