Ayra Starr, who won the Best Female award at the recent Headies awards, took to her social media handle to share her reaction after the organizers failed to present the award category on stage. The ceremony took place at the Cobb Energy Centre in Atlanta Georgia, USA.
Expressing her disappointment, Ayra Starr stated that she ‘will never be grateful’ for winning an award that wasn’t announced on stage.
“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 breathes and lives for music, we didn’t deserve such nonchalance! Nigeria, you didn’t raise me to settle for less,” she wrote.
During the 2023 Headies awards, not all the winners were announced during the ceremony. The Best Female Artist award was among the 14 awards, including the prestigious Record of the Year, that were announced after the end of the ceremony.
